basic information
Chinese houses wildflowers (Collinsia heterophylla) are charming annuals native to California, known for their tiered, snapdragon-like blooms in shades of purple and white. In gardens, they add vibrant color to mixed borders, rock gardens, or containers, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Their delicate appearance makes them ideal for cottage-style or naturalistic landscapes, and they can be used to fill gaps between perennials or as a seasonal ground cover.
