White Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba)

Description

Why choose native plants? Pacific Northwest native plants know how to live here and how to thrive here. They often need much less water and less fertilizer. They spread slowly and are not invasive. They support a wide diversity of wildlife. And best of all, they look great!

Vigorous cool season growth and ability to tolerate seasonally wet or flooded meadows, emerging in warm spring weather with masses of white flowers resembling a patch of foam and attracting tons of pollinators. In natural settings, this wonderful annual wildflower grows in wet vernal pools (temporary seasonal ponds), and has some ability to tolerate grassy conditions. In locations without a thick layer of thatch, it can re-seed itself, only decreasing when too much dense weedy vegetation crowds it out. Grows about 1′ tall. Image courtesy of Northwest Meadowscapes.
