100 Seeds Castilleja linariifolia Split-leaf Paintbrush Wildflower

Native perennial wildflower producing vivid scarlet-orange bracts, ideal for pollinator gardens, meadow plantings, and low-water landscapes, adding striking color and vertical interest through the season.
This Wyoming native makes an excellent choice for cottage gardens, xeriscapes, and wildflower meadows where its bright bracts draw bees and hummingbirds. It pairs well with native grasses and drought-tolerant perennials in mixed borders or naturalized areas, and its upright habit adds texture and height to informal plantings.
