Amsinckia menziesii-Menzies’ fiddleneck

Description Mezies’ fiddleneck is an annual wildflower that will bloom the first year and self-sow, making it a fun and easy species to grow. This spring bloomer is attractive to bees and other pollinators. It is often found in sunny meadows, hillsides, grasslands and disturbed areas. As the “fiddleneck” stem unrolls the flowers bloom from the bottom upward. The flowers are orange to yellow. A great species for a dry disturbed or difficult area. Menzies’ fiddleneck (Amsinckia menziesii) seed packets contain approximately 150 seeds per packet. Seed Germination Instructions This species requires 60 days cold-moist stratification. If you live in an area with cold enough winters you can simply sow the seeds outside in the fall and let nature do the work, or if you live in an area with mild winters, you can use artificial methods for stratification.
