Pholistoma auritum often
completely covers slopes in high shade or North exposures. The
Fiesta Flower blooms much of the Spring, so long as the soil moisture
holds. Pholistoma auritum lays on the ground or clambers over its
neighbors, growing to a foot tall and maybe as wide. Seeded plants
are usually entertwined. Fiesta Flower can turn a whole embankment
purple with its showy flowers.
