I’m native to New York state and Tompkins County, NY.

I provide early spring color to your garden.

My gray-green foliage provides a nice compliment to later blooming flowers the rest of the season.

I am heat and humid sensitive, so I may go dormant in the summer. If I do, I am likely to develop basal leaves when it cools in the fall.

I’m the host plant for the pink-patched looper moth.
