Mentzelia albicaulis

Whitestem Blazing Star (Mentzelia albicaulis) is an annual forb native to Western US states (such as California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Washington) that can thrive in USDA Zones 5–9 as a cool-season annual. Reaching a mature height of 6–18 inches with an erect, starkly white-stemmed branching growth habit, it features rough, lobed green leaves and produces bright yellow star-shaped flowers that open in sunshine. It thrives in dry, sandy, gravelly, or disturbed desert soils in full sun and is ideal for arid land highway revegetation, sandy slope stabilization, and native bee support.
