Fairy Duster, is a low-growing, drought-tolerant shrub native to the deserts of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. Known for its delicate, pink to red puffball flowers, this plant adds charm and color to arid landscapes. Here are its ideal growing conditions:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in extremely hot areas.
• Water Needs: Very low. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and only needs occasional deep watering in prolonged dry periods.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained soils, including sandy, gravelly, or rocky soils. It can tolerate poor soils as long as they drain well.
• Temperature: Heat-loving and well-suited to hot, arid climates. It can handle temperatures over 100°F and light frosts, making it ideal for desert regions.
• Spacing: Plant 3-4 feet apart. It grows 2-3 feet tall and wide, making it a compact choice for small gardens.
• Wildlife: Attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Its flowers are especially appealing to pollinators, and the dense foliage offers cover for small animals.

Fairy Duster is perfect for xeriscaping, native plant gardens, and wildlife-friendly landscapes. Its low water needs, vibrant blooms, and ability to thrive in poor soils make it an ideal plant for desert conditions.
