If you have ever seen a Native Buckwheat in a garden, chances are it was the beautiful Red-Flowered Buckwheat. Easy to grow and small enough for any garden, this little red monster lights up the landscape with an AMAZING display of light pink-rosy red flower clusters from late Spring-Summer, and sometimes longer! Reaches about 1-2 feet high and slightly wider, with interesting evergreen leaves and strong drought-tolerance. This local native (Channel Islands Baby!) is very rare in the wild, but is so easy to grow and beautiful that it is usually one of the only California Native plants found in 'regular' nurseries. Tolerates sandy or clayey soil, hot sun or part shade and attracts and feeds butterflies like crazy - A great native plant for beginners gardens; Use it in bunches for months of low-water color! See it in our demo. gardens or ask to see a photo of it in full bloom!
