What is the real name of Indian paintbrush flower?
Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) Indian paintbrush is an attractive member of the parasitic Broomrape family (Orobancaceae). This species was formerly placed in the Figwort family (Scrophullariaceae), which was a hodgepodge of genera that didn’t fit well in other families. Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) should be pruned by cutting away about a third of the plant in early spring. This will help encourage good air circulation and promote healthy new growth. Always prune back stem ends that contain no flower buds, as well as any stems that are broken or diseased.
