About Apache plume
Apache plume is a native shrub that brings real charm to any garden. Its delicate white flowers bloom over a long season, attracting butterflies and bees who love the nectar. After the flowers fade, feathery pink seed plumes take over, creating an airy, beautiful display that lasts for weeks. Birds appreciate this plant too, and it's a member of the rose family, so you know it's got good growing genes built right in.
This shrub is wonderfully low-maintenance once established. It prefers full sun and well-draining soil, and it's quite tough once it gets going. Water it regularly while it's getting started, then back off as it matures. It's a perennial that will reward you year after year with minimal fussing. Plant one and watch it flourish with very little help from you.
