Large-Flowered Collomia (Collomia grandiflora)
Oregon is home to so many showy native annual wildflowers and Large-Flowered Collomia is no exception! This beauty sports clusters of salmon colored flowers and each flower is decorated with light blue pollen! You can tell which bees have been visiting Large-Flowered Collomia by their blue pollen pockets!
Native from British Columbia to Southern Oregon, this tough and striking little wildflower can take some abuse! If seed sown by late Winter this little guy will require no irrigation and can grow in full sun to part shade. It can tolerate a wide range of soils, and when happy will self sow profusely! It's gorgeous in a mass planting or as part of a native meadow mix!
Each seed packet contains 100 seeds and germination instructions are included.
