Pedicularis densiflora
Also called Red Flower Pedicularis, Warrior's Plume
Indian warrior is a native North American perennial herb in the Orobanchaceae family, with spikes of deep red to pink flowers. It is a facultative hemiparasite that attaches to roots of nearby plants such as manzanita, so it is grown best in native or woodland plantings near suitable hosts rather than on its own in a typical garden bed.
Pedicularis densiflora, known commonly as Indian warrior or warrior's-plume lousewort, is a plant in the family Orobanchaceae.
Indian warrior is native to California and Oregon in western North America and is found in chaparral, forests, California oak woodlands at low elevations.
