Eriogonum fasciculatum var. Theodore Payne
California Buckwheat.
A flat perennial to 6' across. Hardy to 15 degrees. (froze out of here, sorry) Very effective in the San Joaquin Valley, coastal valleys and along the coastal bluffs. Flowers pink on dark green foliage with reddish tints. I've seen one very similar to this growing in Malibu. 'Malibu Flat' is a seedling from 'Theodore Payne', a little flatter. 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.
