Five Spot Nemophila

Nemophila maculata, or Five Spot, is a charming low-growing annual native to California's hills. This member of the Borage family thrives in most temperate garden soils and produces delicate 2cm flowers adorned with five distinctive spots; evolved to attract solitary bees that feed on its nectar and pollen. Growing 15-23cm tall, Five Spot blooms prolifically in spring and is remarkably easy to grow from seed. Direct sow in early spring or fall in mild climates. Perfect for containers, rock gardens, or as edging for raised beds, this pollinator-friendly flower brings both beauty and ecological value to any garden.
