Cleomella serrulata, commonly known as Rocky Mountain beeplant, is an annual herb native to a variety of habitats including prairies, plains, and open woodlands, as well as disturbed areas such as roadsides and fields across western and central North America, from southern Canada to the northern Rocky Mountains. It typically grows to a height of 3-6 feet tall. The plant features tall, branching stems with serrated leaves and clusters of small, pink to purplish flowers that bloom from mid-summer to early fall, which are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Rocky Mountain beeplant is valued for its ornamental flowers, which add a splash of color to wildflower gardens and naturalized areas. It is also used in traditional Native American cuisine and medicine, and as a natural dye. In cultivation, it prefers full sun to part shade and is tolerant of a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. It is relatively low-maintenance, but it can self-seed prolifically, which may be considered undesirable in some gardens. While it is not known for serious diseases or pests, its rapid self-seeding can make it somewhat invasive in certain conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
