Dodecatheon meadia 'Queen Victoria' - 2026

Dodecatheon meadia 'Queen Victoria' is a charming perennial known for its clusters of rose-pink, reflexed flowers with a white and yellow ring at the base, resembling shooting stars. The blooms emerge in late spring to early summer, held above a rosette of lance-shaped green foliage. Its upright, clump-forming habit adds structure and elegance to woodland gardens, shaded borders, or rockeries, providing both visual interest and textural contrast.

This cultivar thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial shade. Its flowers attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity in garden settings. After flowering, foliage dies back naturally, allowing space for other summer perennials to emerge. With minimal maintenance and a graceful habit, 'Queen Victoria' offers reliable seasonal charm and is ideal for naturalistic plantings.
