Houstonia canadensis

The common name of Canada bluets is deceptive on two counts.  First, although it does occur in much of eastern Canada, it's also found throughout the eastern U.S.  Second, the flowers are not blue, but pale pink.  They appear on low stems in late spring, over mini-mats of tiny leaves. Delightful.  Raised from divisions.  Deep 2.5-inch pots.  Zone 3.  Photo: Michael Wolf
