{"product_id":"river-beauty-chamaenerion-latifolium","title":"River Beauty (Chamaenerion latifolium)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt's clear to see how river beauty got its name; this plant is commonly found along gravelly riverbanks, and it truly is beautiful! River beauty is closely related to fireweed, although it is much smaller and does not spread as aggressively, making it a better choice for smaller gardens. It is a low growing, bushy perennial with clustered stems, bluish-green lance-shaped leaves, and vibrant magenta-pink blooms that look very similar to fireweed flowers. Also like fireweed, the leaves, shoots, and flowers are all edible. River beauty is well adapted to cold regions, and thrives in moist but well-drained sandy and rocky soils and full sun. Its rhizomatous growth helps to stabilize soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist to dry, well-drained, gravelly or sandy soils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Up to 2' tall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring to summer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes (leaves, shoots, flowers)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/b\u003e Attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Range \u0026amp; Habitat:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist river bars, scree slopes, and meadows from low to high elevations.
