Pale Indian Plantain

Arnoglossum atriplicifolium

Pale Indian Plantain is notable for its architectural presence, with broad, somewhat coarse, blue-green leaves that form an impressive basal rosette. As summer progresses, this plant sends up towering stalks topped with clusters of small, creamy white flowers, drawing the eye upward and providing a vertical accent in the garden. It’s an excellent choice for background plantings in wildflower meadows or native plant borders, where its height and structure can be fully appreciated.
