Also known as Redwhisker Clammyweed.
Clammyweed is an exotic looking annual featuring slender, erect stems with sticky glandular hairs that repel deer. Its flowers are small, with four white petals and long, slender, red or purple whisker-like stamens that extend well beyond the petals. It is commonly found in open areas, disturbed sites, fields, prairies, and along roadsides. It prefers well-drained soils and does best in full sun. It is drought-tolerant and easily self-sows.
Clammyweed is an important plant for pollinators, and is a host plant for various butterflies.
