Reseda Gayana Var. Brevipes

Blueweed, scientifically known as Reseda gayana var. brevipes, is a unique flowering plant native to the arid regions of Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. This species is characterized by its striking blue flowers and compact, drought-resistant growth habit. It thrives in sandy or rocky soils and is often found in desert scrub and chaparral habitats. Despite its beauty, Blueweed is often overlooked due to its small size and subtle appearance. Its ecological importance lies in its role as a food source for native pollinators and its ability to stabilize fragile desert soils.
