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.

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.
