In northern Indiana this attractive little plant is occasional in dry prairie remnants and open, dry woodlands. In late summer, remontant flowers sometimes appear on scapose (leafless) stems.
Last summer I found a single scapose plant in flower and thought I had something new to science. Luckily I figured out what it was before reporting it as something else.
Last collected in Michigan in the early 1960s, probably from the campus of Andrews University in Berrien Springs. This species is a good one to seek out in the mitten...

I just planted seeds of this plant this weekend, looking forward to it flowering.

Oh... those remontant flowers. I've been temporarily fooled on more than one occasion by them...

Good luck with your plantings, Heather!
