Large-flowered Collomia
Large Flowered Collomia is an annual herb that is both native to California and is cultivated as an ornamental plant.
Its erect, fuzzy, red to green stems range in height from 4″ to 3′ tall. Large-flowered Collomia is notably named for its beautiful white to yellow or orange flowers that bloom mid-summer in showy clusters. Perhaps most intriguing, it has vibrant blue pollen atop its anthers in the center of each trumpet-like flower.
In the garden, this species is fairly easy to grow in open spaces with dry soils and full sun to part shade.
