This hemiparasitic plant naturally attaches to neighboring grasses and forbs, making it a distinctive and colorful addition to meadows, pollinator gardens, and naturalized landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\nIts brilliant bracts appear from late spring through midsummer, creating striking contrast in wildflower plantings and prairie restorations. Indian Paintbrush performs best when sown alongside host grasses such as little bluestem or blue grama, as it draws partial nutrients through root connections. It is well suited to informal borders, meadow mixes, and native plant displays where its vivid color and unusual growth habit can be appreciated. \u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Castilleja coccinea\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Indian Paintbrush\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herbaceous biennial wildflower\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, clump-forming\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, sandy to loamy\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 14-30 days with cold stratification\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, do not cover fully; requires light\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 12-18 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Hemiparasitic; grows best near host grasses\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663161098376,"sku":"EXGA-501","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_bbf02a89-5a2c-49d4-9250-2bd8bf614e9b.png?v=1791895892","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-castilleja-coccinea-indian-paintbrush-wildflower","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
