Broadleaf Barbara’s buttons (marshallia trinervia)

I planted some of these last month and they’ve been steadily in bloom since! I just think they’re so adorable.

Another woman at the nursery told me they thrive in the clay area of her yard, so that’s where I put mine. Excited to see them fill in!!

I’d never heard of them and they weren’t on my shopping list, but they were so healthy and seemed compatible with my difficult front yard. Native to AL, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, and TN according to the University of TX at Austin wildflower database.

I’d love to see / hear any success stories others have with this funky native! Interested to know what its spreading behavior is like.
