Cliff Buckwheat is one of those plants you'll NEVER find in mainstream nurseries, but here at Nopalito it gets top billing! (Yeah, we crazy!) This is the original and best food source for the endangered 'El Segundo Blue Butterfly', so anyone living around the L.A. Airport, get this plant in your yard! Besides being a butterfly magnet, this easy to grow native is actually a beautiful and garden worthy plant. Growing quickly to about 2-3 feet high and 3-5 feet wide,Cliff Buckwheat thrives on Full Sun and little to no water near the coast. In hotter areas, give a little Summer water and light shade. Beautiful white-light pink pompom flowers from Summer-Fall, eventually drying to a Copper Brown that give the plant a beautiful 'Chaparral' look in the Fall. Cut hard every Winter for best looks. An excellent plant for feeding local insects, also superb on slopes and cliffs. Tolerates clay soils. Ask to see this plant in our demo. garden.
