Praire smoke is a truly stunning native plant. The purple stems looped over with flowers, and the flowing feathery plums give the ethereal effect of a pinkish-purple haze — hence the common name. The leaves stay close to the ground until the flower stalks shoot up when warm weather comes.
Praire smoke is drought tolerant and prefers to grow in well-drained open areas.
Its early blooms (April - June) provide crucial nectar for queen bumblebees.
Sun: Full sun to partial shade
