Castilleja - Scarlet Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) Indian Paint Brush Prairie Fire Wildflower Herb
Biennial
Full sun
Castilleja, commonly known as paintbrush, Indian paintbrush, or prairie-fire, is a biennial wildflower that typically grows less than 0.5 m in height, and consists of a basal rosette the first year and a flowering stalk the second year. The central stem is usually green or reddish brown and covered in small hairs. Leaves are alternately attached, stemless, medium green coloured, have entire margins, are lance shaped, and are deeply divided into 3 to 5 lobes, becoming smaller as they ascend the stem.
The actual flowers of Indian paintbrush are inconspicuous, tubular, greenish yellow, and are nestled in the axils of brilliantly coloured bracts (modified leaves) which can be red, orange, or yellow. It blooms April to July. The colouring of the bracts appear to have have been dipped in paint, hence the plants common name.
This wildflower has no surface for insects to land, and primarily attracts pollinators that can hover, such as Hover flies and Hummingbirds. The roots of this plant are unique in the way they help to prevent erosion, as it is a partially parasitic plant. Roots grow until they touch the roots of other plants, frequently grasses, and then penetrate the roots of these host plants to obtain a portion of their nutrients, which creates a more intricate root system with other surrounding plants that help prevent surface soil erosion.
Note: This rooting ability also makes Indian Paintbrush respond poorly to being transplanted.
This wildflower can be found growing naturally in moist forests, moist fields and meadows, prairies, and along stream or lake shorelines. Paintbrush does best in a prairie garden or wildflower meadow.
Prefers well draining, sandy or loamy soil
-
Seeding is the best way to plant Indian paintbrush because container-grown plants are difficult to transplant.
- Recommend sowing direct outdoors - mimicking nature - naturally, paintbrush seeds are sown once the ripe berries have become soft and turned orange or red from the end of winter to early summer; the seeds may take a few months to germinate and they need a period of cold stratification first.
- Height 1.5 ft
- OR you can experiment and start seeds indoors. Use biodegradable pots as they do not like to be transplanted. Place the seeds on the surface of your growing medium, and water in lightly from below. Place your container(s) in the fridge for 60 days. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature for them to germinate. Transplant the whole pot outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. PR

Prefect coverage and cooling.
I have to have sun protection and I live in the south. This is perfect for my daily walks. Covers what I don’t want to put sun screen on, the loose fit hides tummy area and loose in back. Liked it so much, I just ordered two more. Soft, silky, and Very cooling and lightweight.

Weird spot on it.
Color: Black, Size: Large
I kind of like this top, especially the feel of it. Unfortunately, it has an odd stain on the front. Looks like a heat mark from being pressed? I hope it comes out because I threw the bag away. If it does come out I'll take down this review.

Love these bamboo tops..I live in them!
Color: White, Size: Small
I am a fan of Pioneer Camp bamboo tops for their softness, natural fiber content and washability. They come out of the washer and a few minutes in the dryer looking like brand new. I have about 6 of the cropped tops and 3 of these longer yoga style for cooler weather. My daughter only wears natural fiber clothing and she asked me about the cropped tops because she really liked them; she now wears these tops and loves them, too, especially because she has a new baby and doesn’t want anything synthetic near her.
The fabric has a perfect ”weight” to it so that it isn’t see-through at all, but it’s breathable and so comfortable even in the hot Arizona summers.
I suppose the fact I have 9 of this brand top says it all..I basically live in them😊
