Rattlebox flower detail

This species prefers full sun and can tolerate wet and dry conditions - making it a good candidate for a rain garden. The petals drop easily, often lasting less than a day. When the capsule is shaken, the seeds rattle, which gives rise to the common name “rattle-box". The dried stems and fruit have an attractive reddish-brown color in the winter. Cut back dormant plant material in the late winter.
