Bellardia viscosa
Bellardia viscosa
Bellardia viscosa is a sticky, semi-parasitic annual wildflower best grown in open, well-drained soils with partial to full sun exposure. It attaches to the roots of neighboring grasses or forbs, so planting it near suitable host plants improves establishment and vigor. Minimal watering is needed once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for naturalistic or meadow garden settings.
