Known as Prairie Smoke for its airy, feathery seedheads, this charming wildflower from the rose family brightens prairies and open woods. Though once common, it’s now a rare gem, edged out by invasive plants and development. Native Americans valued it for its healing properties. Its finely divided, fern-like leaves stay semi-evergreen and put on a colorful show, turning shades of red, purple, and orange from late fall through winter. A playful splash of nature’s magic for your garden!
