Description

Saint Catherine's Lace is an evergreen shrub that commonly grows to four feet. A big buckwheat with pinkish white flowers fading to rust red, May-Dec., foliage gray, Channel Islands, good background plant, full to part-day sun, low water requirements and does fine in the interior, no damage at 15 deg., container stock damaged at 12 deg.F.. St. Catherine's lace is a brittle plant, snow does a number on the stems. . It has grown very well in desert areas (Taft, Bakersfield and Ridgecrest). The buckwheats are very important butterfly plants and one of the pillars of their communities, ask any Wren Tit or Bush Tit. The flowers, leaves and seeds are all used by all the smaller animals. A very different and distinct plant. Click here for more about California Buckwheats
