Rocky Mountain Bee Plant is a really beautiful wildflower that is one that was “discovered” by Lewis and Clark in 1806 on their expedition into the American west. Today, more and more gardeners are discovering it too. It’s really a desert plant, so has great drought resistance, and you’ll love the large bushy plant it makes–almost like a shrub, covered with its stunning big purplish/pink flowerheads. A great native plant for the meadow or the back of the perennial border.
