Dodecatheon hendersonii naturally occurs in much of California, in Oregon and parts of Washington west of the Cascades, and southern Vancouver Island at low to mid-elevations within open woodlands, forest edges, and grasslands, typically in partial shade. In springtime, the plant emerges from dormancy as a modest little clump of soft green, oval or spoon-shaped leaves.
Dodecatheon jeffreyi is a species of flowering plant in the primrose family known by the common names Sierra shooting star, Jeffrey’s shooting star, and tall mountain shooting star meadows and streambanks. This is a thick-rooted perennial with long, slightly wrinkled leaves around the base.
Ours is a Henderson's shooting star by the leaves.
