Distribution: North America

IUCN Red list: Not evaluated

Life form: Perennial plant

Comments: If you are looking for a truly low-maintenance perennial that flowers all season, this plant is for you. Wand flower starts blooming in spring and can continue until frost. Its deep tap roots provide excellent drought tolerance.
The flowers sway and bounce in the breeze on their long, slender shoots and resemble a whirl of tiny pink and white butterflies. As with many drought- tolerant natives, wet winter soil can kill these otherwise tough plants.
