Leptosiphon grandiflorus
Also called Large Flowered Leptosiphon
Large flower linanthus is a low annual wildflower of California's coastal hills and grasslands, producing white or pinkish funnel-shaped flowers from April to July. It is a rare native species, so it is best grown from ethically sourced seed and kept in full sun with good drainage.
Leptosiphon grandiflorus (syn. Linanthus grandiflorus) is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common names large-flower linanthus and large flowered leptosiphon.
It is endemic to California, where it is known from the California Coast Ranges of the Central Coast and the San Francisco Bay Area. It grows below 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) in chaparral, coastal prairie, coastal sage scrub, closed-cone pine forest, grassland, and oak woodland habitats.
