Lomatium simplex
Lomatium simplex
Lomatium simplex is a native western North American wildflower in the carrot family, producing clusters of small yellow flowers beloved by native pollinators in spring. It grows best in well-draining, rocky or gravelly soils with part shade and requires little supplemental water once established. This specialist plant suits native and wildflower gardens in the Intermountain West and can be slow to establish from seed, so patience is rewarded with a long-lived, low-maintenance perennial.
