Prairie smoke is a beloved native wildflower valued for its nodding magenta-pink flowers in spring and spectacular feathery seed heads that give it its common name. It thrives in well-drained soils with partial to full sun and is remarkably drought tolerant once established. An excellent low-maintenance choice for native plant gardens, borders, and pollinator landscapes.
