Scrophularia californica – California Figwort / Bee Plant
A California native perennial that earns its nickname 'Bee Plant' with ease, Scrophularia californica is a powerhouse habitat plant for shady gardens and wildlife corridors. Tall flower spikes carry dozens of tiny, open-mouthed maroon-red flowers that bees and hummingbirds find irresistible, followed by attractive seed stalks that look lovely in dried arrangements. Spreading by rhizomes to form a lush colony, it's an excellent choice for shady spots, butterfly gardens, and native plant landscapes where most ornamentals struggle. Drought tolerant, deer resistant, and deeply rewarding for the wildlife-focused gardener.
