Apache Plume

Fallugia paradoxa
In the United States: Native

Honeybees forage on Apache plume for nectar and pollen throughout its extended blooming period from late spring to early fall, with peak activity in May and June. The plant thrives in full sun and dry, well-drained soils, making it suitable for low-maintenance landscapes. Prune older stems to the base periodically to rejuvenate the shrub and encourage denser flowering.
