Castilleja latifolia
Currently this plant is unavailable. However, we may have it in the future, so please if you wish to be added to a wish list.

A mixed group of annuals, perennials and subshrubs mostly from North America. These plants are hemiparasites, meaning they are partly parasitic on the roots of other plants, although they seem to cause very little damage to their hosts and, indeed, sometimes grow well enough without a host (e.g. in a pot by themselves). Penstemons are recommended as hosts, They produce dense spikes of inconspicuous flowers but colour is provided by their showier bracts.

Castilleja latifolia produces dense spikes of narrow, tubular flowers in bright red to shades of yellow. It comes from the coastal dunes of California where it is known as the Monterey Indian Paintbrush.
