Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja sp.) Type: Perennial. Where to Grow it: All regions. Bloom time and height: Spring 1-2 ft. tall. Sun/Shade: Full sun, partial shade. How to Grow it: Best in late Fall. The seeds are very small and should be sown directly on the soil surface to 1/16" depth. Keep soil moist. Adapted to well drained areas in full sun. Not the easiest variety to cultivate, but the lure of such magnificent flowers certainly compensates for the effort. Does not transplant well. Requires a period of time to become established. Etc: One of the world's most sought after wildflowers, the Indian Paintbrush. This striking perennial is honored by poet A.V. Hudson, "A strange little flower with a sun-kissed nose, without perfume yet red as a rose. Did some Indian maiden plant you here in the footprint left by the hoof of a deer?"
