Castilleja linariifolia (Wyoming Paintbrush) 100 Seeds

Wyoming Paintbrush is a beautiful perennial wildflower that is at home in the sage sea.

Hardy to wind and frigid temps as well as heat and drought. Plant it with some sagebrush and native grasses to watch it really take off. Paintbrushes are hemiparasitic and thrive when planted with other native species; grass and sagebrush are what we see them associated with most often. 

In order, Castilleja chromosa blooms first in April, then C. flava in May and June, then C. linariifolia blooming from mid-summer into November. We find these three species together often.

These are an excellent choice for xeriscapes, pollinator gardens, rock/crevice gardens, native yards and mass plantings. Growing to around 18" unless planted without a plant to grow with.
