Prairie Smoke is one of the most distinctive native wildflowers, beginning with nodding pink flowers before transforming into silky, feathery seed heads that resemble drifting wisps of smoke in the wind. Its unique appearance and tidy clumps make it a standout choice for rock gardens, prairies, and sunny native plantings.

Prairie Smoke provides an important early-season pollen source for native bees emerging in spring when few other flowers are available. As its silvery seed plumes catch the breeze, the garden takes on a soft, cloud-like glow unlike any other native wildflower.
