This spring blooming wildflower is very shade, heat, and drought tolerant. White avens is most happy under trees and tall shrubs where its white flowers are a lovely spring attraction. For the remainder of the season the its soft green leaves compliment other shade-loving plants. When plants emerge in spring the leaves are held tight against the ground. Later leaves are held a little higher followed by flowers held high above the foliage. Use as a groundcover, border, or potted plant. Reseeds to form a groundcover under those dry, shady bare spots under your trees. But its dainty taproot means it is easy to control and never invasive.
Note
: If you order more than one lot of one species of seeds, for example you place two orders of 100 seeds, or whatever variation is offered, we assume you want 200 seeds and your order will be sent in one seed packet. If you would prefer a separate packet for each lot of seeds please contact us immediately after placing your order, or before, to let us know—we will accommodate your preference.
Also note:
These seeds are packed for 2021—this means that they were harvested this year, in 2020. Seeds are always "packed for" the year following the year that they were harvested. By purchasing them now you will be ready to plant your seeds
as you need to now,
or next year
—why wait until next year to buy your seeds?!
