Abstract
The Clemson Home & Garden Information Center website is the most visited website at Clemson University.Blogs are posted each with with timely information and are the highlight of a weekly newsletter to viewers who sign up. This image of a little-known native perennial was the highlight of the blog post on March 16, 2023 found here: https://hgic.clemson.edu/a-desirable-chickweed-who-knew/ The caption reads: "Star Chickweed has five petals deeply divided to make it look like there are ten petals."
Several blog feedbacks: It identified the plant I found yesterday * New noninvasive flower to consider in under the tree area * More new options * A beautiful new little plant! * Introduced to a new plant and the photos * Learning something new * Always seeking native, non-invasive plants to feed my bees! Thank you! * Did not know of this plant. I will be looking for it * Knowing about a perennial for my forested yard
