An award winning plant, the Dark Throat Shooting Star flower is an herbaceous perennial boasting umbels of brilliant magenta to deep cerise flowers, resembling cyclamen blooms. Its flowers has swept-back petals adorned with a white collar at their base and a yellow ring, under which five stamens join to form a downward-pointing beak. The charming blossoms are borne on upright, leafless, flowerscapes that rise from a basal rosette of lance-shaped, deep green leaves. They perform best in full sun or part shade on well-drained soils, but avoid poorly-drained, wet soils, particularly in winter.
