A US West coast native flower with lemon-yellow blooms on erect stems that can reach up to 8′ tall. This plant occurs naturally in meadows, wetlands, and riparian areas. Grows well in moist habitats and variable sun conditions.
These stalks (2-5') of wonderfully fragrant yellow trumpets grow natively along alpine streams in S. California; we like to think of them along with the waterfalls and ouzel-birds. Sun/Med-Wet/GdDrain
