This is a darling of an annual - one sure to brighten up your spring garden. While individual flowers are small, they occur in dense, puffy-pink clusters at the ends of elongated stocks. So cute - and quite showy when planted in drifts. It is an excellent early season resource for native pollinators, including bumble bees, and also for butterflies, including the rare Taylor’s checkerspot and Fender’s blue.
