Apache Plume
Fallugia Paradoxa
Overview
The Apache Plume (Fallugia paradoxa) is a drought-tolerant shrub native to the Southwest, reaching 3 to 6 feet high and wide. Its white, 1-inch diameter, rose-like flowers bloom from spring to fall, giving way to distinctive plumed seed heads that add a feathery texture to the landscape. Adaptable to poor soils, this plant thrives in full sun, requiring minimal care, and is ideal for xeriscaping and natural, low-water gardens.
