If you're looking for a medium-sized shrub that blooms from spring to fall, requires little water and needs almost no maintenance, this is it! Apache Plume
(Fallugia paradoxa) begins the season in May with a profusion of white, rose-like flowers that turn to lovely silvery-pink seed plumes throughout the summer
and fall. It's a Utah native, well adapted to our conditions along the Wasatch Front, and requires very little maintenance. Thin it out a bit after the first bloom
and it will continue to provide you with flowers throughout the summer also. And even as the snow starts to fall, the plant adds interest to your landscape.
