Old fashioned garden favourite which has a spectacular flower.

Limnanthes douglasii, commonly known as the poached egg plant, is an annual flowering plant named for its white flowers with bright yellow centers, resembling poached eggs.

It is valued for attracting beneficial insects like hoverflies and bees, making it an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

The plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It blooms from late spring to early summer and is often used in borders, rock gardens, and as a ground cover due to its low-growing, spreading habit.
