Discover Our Featured Wildflowers
From Picacho Peak to Peridot Mesa, Arizona offers breathtaking wildflower displays. Explore our favorite locations and the stories behind their blooms.
California Poppy
The California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a vibrant orange wildflower that opens wide in full sun and closes at night or in shade. It thrives in dry, sunny conditions and brings a burst of color to desert gardens each spring.
Desert Bluebell
With rich blue-purple bell-shaped flowers and fuzzy stems, the Desert Bluebell is often one of the first to bloom each season. It's a pollinator favorite and adds a cool contrast to the warmer desert tones.
Arroyo Lupine
Tall and elegant with spires of purple-blue flowers, Arroyo Lupine adds height and movement to wildflower gardens. Its spiral seed pods pop open at the end of bloom season, naturally reseeding the garden for next year.
Desert Marigold
Cheerful and tough, Desert Marigold produces layers of bright yellow petals that seem to glow in the desert sun. It’s drought-tolerant and blooms for a long stretch, making it a reliable favorite for color and pollinators alike.
Blanketflower
The Blanketflower (Gaillardia pulchella), also known as Firewheel, is a hardy desert wildflower with striking red petals tipped in golden yellow. It thrives in full sun, attracts pollinators, and brings bold, fiery color to wildflower gardens from spring through fall.
