Nursery contributed plant descriptions
One of the most distinctly Californian spring wildflowers is “Meadow Foam.” This pure yellow form only appears near the coast. Upward facing cup-shaped blooms are borne abundantly on a 8” X 12” plant. It loves our winter rains, and prefers moist areas during it’s growing season. (Winter and spring) Delightful sweet fragrance! Perfect for the little cut flower vase on your kitchen window! Reseeds!
