Fallugia paradoxa is naturally found in south-west North America from California to Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma growing on dry rocky slopes and amongst open Pinyon-juniper woodlands in desert mountains at an elevation of 1000 to 2200 m (6600 ft). 

It prefers a semi-shaded open position and tolerates hot and cold temperatures and grows in dry gravelly sandy soils that are limestone based to medium clay loams that are moderately fertile with a pH 6-8 and is drought and frost tolerant.

The Apache Plume is grown for its bushy habit and feathery plumes. It is planted in small arid gardens and rockeries as a specimen or in patio pots or planter boxes. Is suitable for coastal and dry inland regions establishing in 1-2 years and is moderately long-lived. This American native is also suitable for commercial sites requiring little care once established. This easy to grow shrub is also used for erosion control as itself seeds readily. ID 3654
