five spot
Nemophila maculata
Overview
Five Spot (Nemophila maculata) is an annual plant species in the hydrophyllaceae family. It has attractive quarter-size white to lavender flowers with five spots at the base. The foliage is finely divided, deeply lobed, and bright green. It blooms from mid-spring to summer and prefers moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Five Spot is a great addition to gardens, meadows, and natural plantings as it forms dense mats that flower profusely for many weeks, attracting pollinators, and can be tucked into nooks and crannies of rockeries. Surprisingly easy to grow, this delightful wildflower is a great choice for gardeners of any skill level.
