Hard to find in the trade, “Ranger’s Buttons” is a bold & distinct California native perennial. 3’-5’ tall with stout, erect stems, bearing several large (4” across) umbels made of very compact tiny white flowers that look like “buttons” at the ends of hairy branches. The “buttons” change from pinky purple in bud to pure white, then fade to purplish, giving this fine native its special charm. The flowers must secrete sweet nectar because BEES & BUTTERFLIES are constantly hovering about. Valued for its late Summer bloom period, it likes to be placed where it receives regular watering, as it naturally lives near streams & moist meadows. Regular garden watering should be fine.
