FIVE SPOT IS A SHORT, BUT SHOWY LITTLE WILDFLOWER, AND IS ALSO KNOWN AS “BUFFALO EYES”. A CALIFORNIA NATIVE, FIVE SPOT IS FOUND IN FIELDS AND MEADOWS, AND LOOKS BEAUTIFUL PLANTED IN MASSES. FIVE WHITE PETALS ARE EACH HIGHLIGHTED BY A REGAL PURPLE SPOT, SURE TO DRAW ATTENTION! THE FOLIAGE IS ATTRACTIVE AS WELL, AND GROWS IN A LOW, SPREADING FASHION. AN EXTREMELY FAST GROWER AND PROLIFIC BLOOMER, FIVE SPOT, OR BUFFALO EYES, ARE VERY EASY TO GROW FROM SEED. FIVE SPOT PLANTS THRIVE IN ALMOST ANY SOIL, AS LONG AS IT IS WELL-DRAINED. PLANT FIVE SPOT SEEDS IN FULL SUN TO PARTIAL SHADE AND YOU’LL ENJOY THEIR CHARM FROM MID SPRING TO EARLY SUMMER! IN WARMER AND MORE SUNNY CLIMATES, THEY WILL NEED SOME SHADE. JUST MAKE SURE NOT TO LET TALLER PLANTS COVER THEIR CHARM! IN MOST AREAS FIVE SPOT PLANTS WILL RE-SEED THEMSELVES FOR A NEW CROP NEXT YEAR!
