Peppermint Candy Flower (Claytonia sibirica)

As sweet as its name suggests, Peppermint Candy Flower is a dainty ground cover with soft pink blooms streaked in deeper pink, resembling little candies scattered across the shade garden floor. Ideal for moist, woodland-inspired spaces or tucked under shrubs, this low-growing perennial brings early-season color from winter into spring. It provides shelter and nectar for early pollinators and is a delightful surprise in any part-shade nook where it can self-sow and gently spread.
