Camissonia cheiranthifolia
is native to the coastal counties of California and Oregon. The
Beach Primrose can be found in sandy soil on or near the coast. The
long taproot allows this plant to be quite drought tolerant once
established. Camissonia cheiranthifolia has a long blooming season,
rarely being completely without flowers. The Beach Primrose can
sometimes be found in wildflower seed mixes, but it rarely persists past
the first season unless planted near the coast in well drained soil.
