There are two main plants that are commonly called "Shooting Star":
Dodecatheon meadia (also known as Eastern Shooting Star, Prairie Pointers, and American Cowslip) is a herbaceous perennial wildflower native to central and eastern North America. It has nodding flowers with reflexed petals that resemble shooting stars, hence the common name.
The flowers come in shades of white, pink, and lavender and bloom in late spring to early summer. Dodecatheon meadia grows best in partial shade to full shade in moist, well-drained soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that is deer resistant and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
Hoya multiflora 'Shooting Star' is a succulent vine native to Southeast Asia. It has clusters of small, star-shaped flowers that are white with pink or purple centers. The flowers are fragrant and bloom in late spring and summer. Hoya multiflora 'Shooting Star' grows best in bright, indirect light and well-drained soil. It is a relatively easy-to-care-for plant that is not prone to pests or diseases.
