Pitted Stripeseed (Piriqueta cistoides var caroliniana) is a delicate Florida native perennial wildflower that brings soft yellow color and steady pollinator activity to sunny, sandy landscapes. Growing 4" to 18" tall, it produces cheerful yellow blooms year‑round, making it a reliable nectar source in every season.
This hardy wildflower thrives in full sun, well‑drained sandy soil, and low‑moisture conditions—perfect for drought‑tolerant gardens and naturalistic plantings. Its blooms attract small bees and butterflies, and it serves as a host plant for the Gulf Fritillary butterfly, supporting caterpillars and adult pollinators alike.
