Five-Spot Nemophila

Overview

Nemophila maculata, commonly known as Five-Spot, is a charming annual wildflower. It features a low, spreading habit, reaching 6-12 inches in height, with delicate cup-shaped blossoms. Each white petal is distinctively marked with a deep purple spot at the tip, suggesting the name. Thriving in partial shade to full sun, this California native prefers moist, well-drained soil. Ideal for borders and as a ground cover, it blooms abundantly in spring.
