	[Claytonia sibirica] 'Candy Flower' or 'Siberian Miners Lettuce' Unlike our other North American natives of this genus, this species stays green all summer long and flowers from spring till fall. Plants grow from 5 to 10 inches tall with foliage that is dark green with a shiny sheen and quite supple. The delicate looking, five petaled flowers are a soft pink color with darker veins, each petal is notched at the tip with deep magenta colored veining. Long blooming flowers and a useful ground cover in open shade, preferring moist soils. Plants self seed but not in a way that is a problem. Plants can be annuals or perennials forming rhizomatous clumps producing bulblets or stolons. Not overly showy but a worth while addition to a Hosta or other shade garden, or can be grown for its edible leaves that taste like lettuce. Native from the north Western North America to Alaska and North Asia. 25 seeds
