Prince’s Plume (Stanleya pinnata) is a bold, upright wildflower native to Utah’s dry, selenium-rich soil and formations. Its tall spikes of bright yellow flowers rise above silver-green foliage in late spring and early summer, creating a dramatic vertical accent. These vivid blooms aren’t just beautiful—they’re also a valuable nectar source for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Well adapted to poor, rocky soils and full sun, this perennial thrives with very little water once established. It’s a strong choice for xeriscapes and pollinator plantings, especially in areas where deer browsing is a concern; they will leave it alone. Whether you’re planting for impact or ecology, Prince’s Plume brings both.
