The name says it all.
Harbinger-of-Spring are modest little wildflowers that are members of the carrot family. What sets them apart is their early spring timing. They’re spring ephemerals, small plants that emerge from a small tuber as a single stem and mature quickly, typically growing no more than nine or ten inches in height. Look for their tiny white-petaled blossoms – each petal is less than a quarter inch in length – in the rich, moist soils of our hardwood forests.
They may be small, but they lead the parade of wildflowers that will soon follow.
