Apache plume
Fallugia paradoxa
Apache plume is a tough, drought-adapted native shrub celebrated for its white rose-like flowers and stunning feathery pink seed plumes that persist through autumn. Once established, it requires very little supplemental water and thrives in full sun with well-drained, even rocky or sandy soils. It is an excellent low-maintenance choice for xeriscape, wildlife, or native Southwest gardens.
