Wedgeleaf horkelia

Also known as: Kellogg's horkelia

Wedgeleaf horkelia is a low-growing perennial herb with a mat-forming habit, characterized by its wedge-shaped leaves that are intricately divided into slender lobes. Its bright white flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer, are set against the green backdrop of foliage and thrive in the sunny, open spaces of its native western North American habitats. Adapted to well-drained soils, wedgeleaf horkelia's compact size and spreading nature help it conserve moisture and resist competition.
