Clarkia unguiculata can be found by the thousands alongside trails and roads. Its distinctive
windmill shape makes it easy to recognize. It is common below the 5000 feet
elevation level through the coast ranges and Sierra Nevada foothills.
Clarkia unguiculata starts to bloom in the late spring and is often the food source of
Swallowtail caterpillars.
