Claytonia (Spring Beauty)

Claytonia prefers consistent moisture, and organically rich well-drained soil. The small Claytonia bulbs will offset freely and create a nice little colony with time. When they get crowded, you can divide your Claytonia and share them with friends or cook and eat them like the colonial Americans did. Apparently, claytonia bulbs have a chestnut-like flavor. Claytonia looks great in woodland gardens, meadows, rock gardens, wildflower gardens or even in lawns. Claytonia can be combined with other small, spring blooming perennials such as crocus, ipheion, or narcissus.
