This California native plant is extremely attractive to bees, but also helps hummingbirds, butterflies, and wasps. It grows well in dry shade and well-drained soils, including heavy clay. It grows to 3-5 feet tall and less than a foot wide. In moist soils it will form large colonies, but it can also successfully be grown in a pot. Bee Plant flowers are small enough that you might miss them upon first glance, but when backlight by the sun, they look like tiny red jewels. Best incorporated as part of a perennial border, typically near the back as it is a taller plant.
