Retain if present. This and other members of the genus are hemiparasites and not easy to grow unless you happen to also have appropriate hosts present. Appropriate burn management will help retain this plant in naturalistic settings. This is very showy in fall.

The showy part of this plant is the bracts which are pink to lavender. Flowers are actually small, whitish to yellowish, with purple spots. Wildflower. Can be used in informal gardens or as individual plants in ones with a more tended look.
