Stunning and very interesting garden feature plants with chinese pagoda-shaped inflorescences of purple and white flowers. Chinese Houses, also known as Blue-Eyed Marys, are native to western North America; plants thrive in cool weather and are perfect for woodland gardens as Chinese Houses are somewhat unique among wildflowers - they prefer shade - whereas most native annual wildflowers thrive with lots of sunlight. Blooms late spring to early summer.
