Lasthenia maritima
Lasthenia maritima
Lasthenia maritima is a coastal Pacific wildflower best suited to rocky, well-drained seaside gardens where it receives partial sun. It tolerates coastal winds and salt spray remarkably well, requiring minimal intervention once established in an appropriate site. Avoid overwatering and heavy clay soils, as this plant naturally thrives in lean, gritty coastal conditions.
