Fairy Duster

Delicate but tough, the fairy duster is a desert shrub with feathery pink or red puffball flowers that look like tiny fireworks. Blooming in spring and again after summer rains, it attracts hummingbirds and pollinators. With fine, fern-like leaves and a low, spreading shape, it’s drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and a whimsical favorite in Sonoran Desert gardens.
