Fun facts:

Prairie Smoke is one of the first plants to bloom in the spring, often appearing before many other prairie flowers. Its bright pink flowers signal the start of the growing season, making it a valuable early food source for pollinators like bees.

It is also well-adapted to dry, rocky soils and harsh prairie environments, thriving in areas with full sun and little water. Its deep roots help it survive in tough conditions where many other plants would struggle.
