Plant Description and Details
Fitting for low-water landscapes, Apache Plume is a soft-textured shrub showcasing its lovely white blossoms and rosy, feathery seed heads through the summer. The shrub can grow to man-height, and has a loose, casual appearance. It looks attractive when it is pruned heavily, even down to the ground, in the winter. Pruning maintains a more compact plant, and the shrub will grow back from the crown each year, flowering later in the summer than unpruned bushes.
