Small-Flowered Fiddleneck

Amsinckia menziesii var. menziesii
Small-Flowered Fiddleneck (Amsinckia menziesii) is an annual forb native to Western US states (such as California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho) that can thrive in USDA Zones 6–9 as a cool-season annual. Reaching a mature height of 1–2.5 feet with an erect, bristly-hairy growth habit, it features lance-shaped green leaves and produces coiled, scorpion-like spikes of small tubular yellow-orange flowers. It thrives in dry, sandy or clay soils, open fields, and disturbed plains in full sun and is ideal for native annual grassland restoration, roadside cover, and early-season pollinator forage.
