Castilleja linariifolia, commonly known as Wyoming Indian paintbrush or Narrowleaf Indian Paintbrush, is a perennial herbaceous plant known for its striking and vibrant flowers.
The plant typically features slender, linear leaves and produces bright red to orange bracts that resemble paintbrushes dipped in vivid paint.
These colorful bracts surround the actual flowers, which are often less conspicuous.
This eye-catching appearance makes it a popular choice for domestic gardens, adding a splash of color and attracting pollinators like birds and butterflies.
Its low water needs and frost hardiness make it suitable for various garden styles, including low-maintenance and water-wise landscapes.
