Not in bloom. It is about 2 1/2 feet tall, looks a little like sage but with arching branches. The flowers are tiny and white, but the seed fluff is a bit like that of the clematis. I will take a photo today of the shrub with the seeds.

I added a photo of the pink bachelor button. I am not going to get a chance to get a photo of the apache plume before this ends. This weekend had me gone more than I was home. My plants are the white apache plume though, not the pink ones.
