Leptosiphon floribundus subsp. floribundus

Family: Polemoniaceae · Type: perennial · Native

Many-flowered leptosiphon is a California native perennial found in southern Gabilan Mountains, southern Brownells, and Peninsular Ranges in open and wooded areas at elevations below 2,300 meters. Flowering from March to August, this plant produces delicate white to pale pink flowers clustered in small, intricate groups. Growing with slender stems 10 to 20 centimeters tall, it forms compact, somewhat spreading clusters with fine, soft branching. Its leaves are finely divided with narrow, thread-like segments that are soft and hairy, giving the plant a delicate, feathery appearance. The plant's stems, leaves, and flower calyxes are consistently covered in soft, fine hairs, contributing to its gentle, textured aesthetic.
