Common Fiddleneck (Amsinckia menziesii) is an annual wildflower that will grow quickly, flowering its first year and self-sowing in the garden. The yellow or orange flowers usually appear in the spring to early summer as the fiddleneck slowly unfurls. Fiddleneck thrives in open and dry locations, happily forming communities with other tough wildflowers like yarrow, and will hold its own against weeds and invasive plant species better than many other more tender wildflowers. Many pollinators are attracted to its spring blossoms, which are some of the earliest to appear, including many species of native bees. Plant in naturalistic prairie plantings with grasses and other spreading wildflowers, pollinator gardens, on steep slopes or other difficult sites, or in restoration areas.
