Bee plant






Scrophularia californica is a flowering plant in the figwort family which is known by the common names California figwort and California bee plant. This perennial herb is native to the western United States and British Columbia. This is an unassuming plant with triangular, toothed, blue-green leaves in pairs opposite each other on a spindly, squared stem. The brownish-magenta flowers are rounded, hollow buds about a centimeter long with two long upper lobes. This species is a strong bee attractant.

a ground cover kind of plant used by Native Americans especially Southwest extensively for die and also as the force sister in the famous three sisters planting
This is an annual and so therefore it makes no sense to buy plants however finding seed may be difficult
