Pedicularis
groenlandica ~ Elephants Head |
| Pedicularis groenlandica
is a root parasite. This makes it difficult to nearly impossible to
grow Elephant's Head as a garden plant. You would need to have an
appropriate host plant for Pedicularis groenlandica to grow with as well
as the proper soil conditions. This specimen was found in a South
facing seep at 5000 feet in elevation in the Southern Sierra range.
Odd plants get included in seed packets, often with little or no hope of
establishment. On the other hand Pedicularis groenlandica should be
cherished all the more in its wild setting and those habitat's that
support Elephant's Head should be protected.
