Fivespot
Nemophila maculata
Fivespot is a charming California native annual with white blooms adorned by five purple spots, perfect for borders and wildflower gardens. It prefers cool weather and part shade, making it an excellent choice for spring planting. Sow seeds directly in well-draining soil and keep moist; it will self-seed readily for returning blooms each season.
