Polanisia dodecandra (Clammyweed)
$ 12.98
Also known as Redwhisker Clammyweed.
Clammyweed is a rather unusual looking annual featuring slender, erect stems with sticky glandular hairs. Its flowers are small, with four white petals and long, slender, red or purple whisker-like stamens that extend well beyond the petals. It is commonly found in open areas, disturbed sites, fields, prairies, and along roadsides. It prefers well-drained soils and does best in full sun. It is drought-tolerant and easily self-sows in the fall.
Clammyweed is an important plant for pollinators, and is a host plant for various butterflies.
