Navarretia intertexta
Also called Needle Leaved Navarretia, Needleleaf Pincushionplant
Needleleaf navarretia (Navarretia intertexta) is a small hairy annual wildflower of western North America, usually found in moist meadows and vernal pools. It is grown mainly as a native wildflower for natural or restoration plantings, and it needs sun and well-drained conditions after its wet spring period.
Navarretia intertexta is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family, known by the common name needleleaf pincushionplant.
It is native to western North America, including most of the western United States and extending into the Midwest. It grows in a variety of habitat types, including moist meadows and vernal pools.
The needleleaf pincushionplant is native to western North America from western Canada to northwestern Mexico. In Canada it is recorded in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. In the US it grows in scattered locations in western North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. In the northwestern US it is also widely scattered in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, but becomes more widely reported to the west in Washington and Oregon. Precise locations for the species in Colorado and New Mexico are not recorded, but it is native to both states. Further west it is quite widespread in California and also grows in some areas of Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. Isolated native occurrences are reported for Ohio and Massachusetts, but the population from Wayne County, Tennessee is believed to be introduced. In Mexico it only is found in Baja California.
