Lindheimer's Beeblossom is a graceful, long-blooming perennial that brings an airy, see-through texture to the summer and fall garden. Its tall, wiry stems are topped with a continuous cloud of small, butterfly-shaped flowers that open white and age to a soft pink, creating a charming two-tone effect. Incredibly resilient to heat, humidity, and drought, this easy-care plant is a must-have for adding movement, delicate color, and pollinator activity to sunny borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings.
Long-Lasting Clouds of Delicate Blooms: Flowers profusely from early summer well into fall, producing masses of small, four-petaled flowers that open white and fade to rose-pink, attracting swarms of butterflies.
Airy, See-Through Texture: The tall, slender stems and open, branching flower panicles create a light, wispy form that adds movement and layers beautifully in front of other plants.
Extremely Heat and Drought Tolerant: Once established, it thrives in full, baking sun and dry, poor soils with minimal watering, making it a champion of water-wise gardens.
Low-Maintenance and Self-Cleaning: Requires no deadheading; the small flowers drop cleanly. For a tidier appearance and to encourage a late-season flush, a light shearing in mid-summer is optional.
Versatile Garden Performer: Excellent as a mid-border filler, in meadow plantings, or for softening hardscapes. Its delicate appearance belies its tough, adaptable nature.
