Fauna: Attractive to a wide variety of pollinators, especially butterflies and bees. Birds eat the seeds.
Planting Considerations: Phoebanthus has tall, thin, wand like stems and looks best when planted in clusters of 5 or more as this is how it naturally grows in wild populations, over time forming colonies.
