The Story
An important evergreen component of chaparral and scrubby slopes in the southwestern US and northern Mexico, this native buckwheat has small, narrow, leathery leaves clustered around stems forming clumps to 28-30" tall and as wide adorned from spring to fall with soft, rounded clusters of white to pale pink flowers -- nectar for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. Flower heads last into winter, turning deep rust and continuing to be decorative. Full sun to avoid sprawl and good drainage. Drought tolerant but happy with occasional summer water. Can be cut back to refresh before spring growth. Frost hardy to 15F, mid USDA zone 8.
