Additional Information: Redwhisker Clammyweed gets its common name "Clammyweed" from the sticky, clammy texture of its stems and leaves, which are often covered in fine hairs that exude a resinous substance that leaves hands feeling clammy when handled. This wildflower produces clusters of pale pink to lavender blooms with long stamens that extend outward, giving it a striking, spider-like appearance. It thrives in dry, open areas and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly gardens, wildflower meadows, and xeriscapes.
