Red Feathers
Pontechium maculatumRed Feathers is a bold and distinctive perennial prized for its upright, feathery flower spikes that bloom in vivid shades of crimson red from spring into early summer. Its narrow, silver-green leaves form a tidy rosette at the base, creating a soft contrast to the bright vertical blooms. Reaching 12 to 16 inches tall and 6 to 10 inches wide at maturity, this compact, clumping plant adds texture and color to beds, borders, and xeriscapes. Highly drought-tolerant and heat-hardy, Red Feathers performs beautifully in Texas landscapes, where it delivers both resilience and vibrant seasonal interest.
