Balsamorhiza careyana
Balsamorhiza careyana
Carey's balsamroot is a rugged Pacific Northwest native that thrives in well-drained, rocky or gravelly soils with full sun to light shade. Water moderately during the growing season and reduce watering in summer when the plant naturally goes semi-dormant. It resents transplanting once established, so choose its permanent location carefully.
