100 Seeds Wyoming Indian Paintbrush Castilleja linariifolia

Wyoming Indian Paintbrush is a striking native wildflower known for its vivid scarlet-orange bracts that resemble a brush dipped in paint. Castilleja linariifolia is a perennial species native to the western United States, valued for its bright color and delicate, lance-shaped green foliage that contrasts beautifully with the vivid bloom spikes.
This wildflower is well suited to native plant gardens, pollinator gardens, meadow plantings, and xeriscape landscapes where it adds season-long color and texture. The colorful bracts emerge in late spring through summer and pair nicely with grasses and other drought-tolerant perennials. It performs best in well-drained soils and full sun, reflecting its natural rocky and sagebrush habitat.
