California matchweed
California matchweed is a sprawling to erect subshrub growing to about 2′ tall. Each single flower makes a splash of color.
Matchweed is naturally found on dry hills and flats, stony slopes and outcrops and occasionally serpentine soils in chaparral and grassland. Matchweed is sometimes referred to as snakeweed.
