Description

California Buckwheat the common one that grows in most of the populated areas of California and is hardy to -10 and very drought tolerant. We've had customers remove rose bushes to plant this one as it has more flowers for longer with less care and watering. The buckwheats are very important butterfly plants and one of the pillars of their communities. Eriogonum fasciculatum var. foliolosum has flowers, leaves and seeds are all used by butterflies and small birds. White flowers come on in late spring, gradually turn pink in summer, then rust colored in fall. The rusty flowers commonly stay on until the next spring. Cool.
