Description
Santa Cruz Island Buckwheat is a shrub to three feet in the coastal areas, it will be smaller in the interior. This buckwheat is native to the Channel Islands. It has gray foliage with pink flowers that hang around from summer to winter, useful in dried flower arrangements. Eriogonum species are very drought tolerant and need full sun, and little watering after established(wash the dust off occasionally) . A neat-looking, little plant that causes no problems and looks good. Snow has a tendency to break branches but it seems to be hardy to some where around 0F, although 5-10F is probably safer. The buckwheats are very important butterfly plants and one of the pillars of their communities. The flowers, leaves and seeds are all used by all the smaller animals. Plant a buckwheat, feed more than one bird and butterfly. Click here for more about California Buckwheats
