Collomia grandiflora (Large Flowered Collomia)

Large Flowered Collomia, Grand Collomia, Large-flower Mountain-Trumpet, Collomia


Adding pastel color to the garden, Collomia grandiflora (Large Flowered Collomia) is a charming annual wildflower boasting ravishing clusters tightly packed with pale peach to white flowers from mid-spring to mid-summer. Each tubular flower, 1 in. wide (2.5 cm), features 5 curving petals and anthers tipped with blue pollen - for a lovely contrast. Bees collect the bright blue pollen from the blossoms. The flowers are borne on erect, hairy, or fuzzy stems clad with long, lance-shaped leaves. They give way to capsules that contain sticky seeds. This plant spreads by reseeding itself and keeps a presence in the garden. Great as a cut flower.

  • Grows up to 18-24 in. tall and wide (45-60 cm).
  • Performs best in full sun to part shade in dry to moist, well-drained soils. Prefers partial shade and dry soils.
  • Stunning when massed in mixed borders, cottage gardens, woodland gardens, naturalized areas, or containers.
  • No serious pest or disease issues.
  • Propagate by seed sown in situ in spring or autumn.
  • Native to western North America.
