Mentzelia laevicaulis is
nothing short of spectacular. This blazing star blooms during the
summer and through to the Fall when most of the wildflowers are long since
finished. Mentzelia laevicaulis will grow to 3 feet tall and wide
and will often have more than a dozen 3" blossoms blazing at a
time. Mentzelia laevicaulis prefers well drained soil. The
Blazing Star can be found in disturbed areas and roadsides. I find
this is a good indicator for garden success.
