About California fetid adderstongue
# California Fetid Adderstongue
If you love wildflowers and want to help local wildlife, California fetid adderstongue is a charming native plant worth knowing. It's a perennial herb that comes back year after year, so you plant it once and enjoy it for seasons to come. This little beauty flowers early in the year when pollinators are hungry, and it's a member of the lily family, which always brings a touch of elegance to the garden.
Growing this plant is refreshingly simple. Give it a spot where it gets shade, keep the soil moist like it would be in nature, and let it do its thing. It's a low-fuss plant that asks for very little once it settles in. If you've had success with other shade-loving natives, you'll find this one just as forgiving. Plant a few and watch them quietly brighten your garden while supporting the creatures that depend on them.
