Life Cycle: Perennial
Soil Moisture: Dry to moist, acidic, well drained sandy soil
Sun Exposure: Full sun to minimal shade
Height: 6-10” and spreading
Bloom Color: Purple
Bloom Time: Spring through fall
Fauna: Larval food source for the Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) butterfly. Other butterflies and bees visit it as well.
Planting Considerations: An excellent ground cover that spreads by under ground runners. Can be used as a ground cover by itself and trimmed or mowed to 3” as needed. It also makes a great base layer for a mixed wildflower planting with other perennials. Twinflower can be semi-dormant in winter and while it can persist in dry soil, it will need water during extended periods of drought in the spring.
