Description

Kennedy's buckwheat is a flat little perennial with white flowers that grows on mountain slopes from San Bernardino up into the east slope of the Sierras north into Mono County and east into the desert Mountains. Kennedy's buckwheat is great for dry high desert gardens, mountain gardens or rock gardens in almost any climate. A very flat compact perennial even without snow. Kennedy's Buckwheat’s silver gray foliage looks great in amongst rocks mixed with Pentomon azureus, Penstemon rostriflorus, and Monardelloa odorotissima. The dainty white flowers turn milk chocolate color in the fall. Good high elevation butterfly plant.
