Apache plume
Apache plume is a fast growing deciduous or semi-evergreen medium sized shrub. It is native to the southwestern US and northern Mexico in desert woodlands and scrub. It grows 2-6 feet tall and spaced at 4-6 feet apart.
This super showy shrub is drought tolerant has a bit of a unkempt look prior to flowering then you are rewarded with a show of white appleblossom-like flowers in the spring followed by pink feather duster plumes that last until around December.
Cut oldest woody stems to the ground to rejuvenate.
