Cleomella serrulata (Rocky Mountain beeplant) is a fast-growing native wildflower of western North America, producing clusters of pink to purple blooms that are magnets for bees and butterflies. It adapts well to dry, sandy, or disturbed soils and thrives with minimal care in full sun to part shade. Ideal for naturalized gardens, roadsides, and wildflower meadows, it self-seeds readily to return year after year.
