Notes
Large flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora) is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. This plant likes full sun to part shade and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. Dense heads of funnel-shaped flowers open in yellow to orange shades, and bees visit them. The stems are usually unbranched, and the narrow leaves get smaller toward the top.
Pairs well with Mexican Sunflower sunflower, Texas bluebonnet, and Snake's head.
