Description
Meadow beauty or Handsome Harry is a 2 ft. succulent, hairy perennial with bright-green, oval leaves and showy flowers in loose, nearly terminal clusters. Flowers are strikingly beautiful
with showy pink-purple petals and contrasting bright yellow stamens.
Members of this genus have a distinctive urn-shaped fruit that Thoreau once compared to a little cream pitcher. The narrowly winged stem is four-sided with flat faces.
Prefers wet peat or sandy, acid soils.
