The petals often feature contrasting colors, making the blooms stand out in any garden.
Key Features:

- Blooming Season: Wishbone flowers bloom profusely from spring through fall, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, making them a perfect addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.
Care Guidelines:
- Light Requirements: Thrives in partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for areas with indirect sunlight or dappled light.
- Watering: Requires regular watering, as it prefers consistently moist but well-drained soil.
- Soil Type: Grows best in rich, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter to retain moisture.
- Fertilization: Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer promotes healthier blooms.
- Maintenance: This low-maintenance plant benefits from deadheading to encourage continuous blooming throughout the growing season.
Ideal Use:
- Wishbone flowers are perfect for borders, hanging baskets, window boxes, or as ground cover in shady areas. Their cheerful blooms add color and life to any garden setting.
