Apache Plume
Apache plume is an incredibly drought-tolerant native shrub with an irregular shape.
In May, beautiful rose-like, simple white flowers bloom. One of the showiest aspects of this plant is the pink, plume-like seed clusters that are produced after the flowers finish. In the right light, they create a soft, rosy glow.
The tiny, finely-lobed green-grey leaves, turn to yellow in the fall.
Apache plume is a must for low water landscapes because it provides four seasons of interest. In addition, it performs very well with no supplemental irrigation.
