Linda - I was just searching for this plant and your thread is the only one that comes up in the MN forum.

Did you ever get one? If so, where? . . . and how is it doing?

I bought one three years ago from Easyliving Wildflowers at
easywildflowers.com.
So far it manages to pop up in June each year out here in the frozen waste lands. It is in exposed location and I do nothing to protect it. But, after the -26f this January, I'll have to wait a bit more to see if it is still there.

Here is a link that might be useful: Easy Wildflowers

I bought one from Munchkin Nursery a couple of years ago. It didn't return, but I think it was my fault, not the nursery's. I gave it a moist, rich soil in the shade, however.

Does anyone have seeds of Marilandica spigelia that came from the wild, or from multiple seedlings? The problem with mail order nursery material is that often, this plant is propagated by root-division; no genetic diversity; all clonal.

Thank you,
Steve

I traded for one four years ago. It grew slowly but last year had nine flowering stems and was really lovely.
