Seablush (Shortspur Seablush)
Seablush is a native annual that is both charming and gorgeous! It's often associated with Oregon White Oaks and Camas fields. Where Seablush is happy it can cover hills, fields, and forest edges. Its native range stretches along the West Coast from British Columbia south to California. Seablush is surprisingly tough for how delicate it appears. It can be planted in situations from vernal fields to rock gardens and is even a pretty container plant! It's gorgeous when mass planted, and will happily self-sow for the following spring's floral display. Seablush grows 4 to 24 inches tall and blooms March-June.
It's very attractive to native bees, flies and butterflies, and is the host plant for the endangered butterfly Taylor’s Checkerspot!
Each seed packet contains 75 seeds and germination instructions are included.
