Description:

California Buckwheat Eriogonum fasciculatum almost doesn’t need soil: give it a pile of rocks in full sun and it will probably be right at home. Once its root system is established, it can live for up to 50 years, requiring only the seasonal rainfall. It frequently flowers for months on end in the heat of summer after other flowers have called it quits. It supports a diversity of wildlife-bees, wasps and other insects are attracted to it and will put on a show-beautiful to watch! What’s not to love?! VERY Drought tolerant. Excellent sand dune binder and cliff hanger. This variety has white flowers that turn pinkish as it ages. Its about 4 ft X 4 ft. tall when mature. This is not the ground cover size.
