Plants reach 6–18 inches tall, forming tidy clumps that can be divided as they mature, allowing you to spread them around the landscape, increasing their numbers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Futura Medium',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eThis species keeps good company with a dedicated guild of native bees, including the golden-haired mining bee (\u003cem\u003eAndrena auricoma\u003c\/em\u003e), the blue-and-black mining bee (\u003cem\u003eAndrena nigrocaerulea\u003c\/em\u003e), the clover mining bee (\u003cem\u003eAndrena plana\u003c\/em\u003e), the California digger bee (\u003cem\u003eAnthophora californica\u003c\/em\u003e), the California bumble bee (\u003cem\u003eBombus californicus\u003c\/em\u003e), and the snazzy green Peridot bee (\u003cem\u003eAugochlorella pomoniella\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Futura Medium',sans-serif;\"\u003eExcellent for meadow edges, pollinator strips, coastal gardens, and urban prairie conversions.
