Lindley’s blazing star
Lindley’s Blazing Star is an upright annual wildflower that grows 1-2 ft. tall x 1 ft. wide
This species is named for its golden yellow satiny five petal blooms centered with a fountain of extra long stamens that appear from late spring to early summer. Its blooming season may be extended with deadheading.
In the garden, this annual prefers well to medium draining soil and is tolerant of heat, drought, and wind. It’s the perfect addition to open areas between a variety of trees/shrubs or it pairs nicely in a meadow garden with lupines, poppies, Clarkia sp., Chinese Houses, and more! It also does well in containers.
