Chinese Houses Flowers

Collinsia heterophylla. Delicate and charming, Chinese Houses are a standout in any garden with their unique, bi-colored flowers. These annual wildflowers feature spikes of small, tubular blooms in shades of purple and white, resembling tiny “houses” that give this plant its name. The soft, two-tone flowers create a stunning contrast against the plant’s rich green foliage.

Native to California, Chinese Houses thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, adding a touch of elegance to borders, meadows, or containers. Known for attracting pollinators, these plants bloom in early spring and provide vibrant color all season long. Easy to grow and perfect for naturalizing, Collinsia heterophylla is a lovely choice for gardeners seeking something both unique and low-maintenance.
