Phenology
Flowering from June throughout August.
Diagnostic characteristics
This species could be easily confused with Physaria utahensis but P. garrettii has entire, narrowly elliptic to obovate/oblanceolate leaves, straight pencils which are upright and elongated when fruiting, and densely pubescent siliciles that appear shaggy due to spreading stellate rays.
Species range
Occurs in scattered locations across the central Wasatch Mountains, from Big Cottonwood Canyon on the north to Provo Peak on the south (including portions of Salt Lake, Utah, and Wasatch Counties). Reports from Davis County are could be based on misidentified specimens.
