Large-flowered Leptosiphon
Large-Flowered Leptosiphon is an annual wildflower that only reaches six inches tall. It blooms throughout spring and summer with clusters of white to pink, funnel-shaped flowers with a tinge of lavender on the edges of its petals.
This species prefers fast draining soil, so best to plant it in a sandy or rocky spot with full sun in the garden. A wonderful choice for bee and butterfly gardens!
