Eriogonum arborescens
grows 4 feet tall and is typically wider than tall. The Santa Cruz
Island Buckwheat is quite drought tolerant, and clay tolerant must be
given good drainage in garden plantings. Plan for some drying out
time between irrigation cycles in heavy soils. Natural rainfall is
fine for established plants near the coast, some supplemental water may be
required inland. Eriogonum arborescens grows in full
sun. Eriogonum arborescens has a long blooming period, starting in
late Spring and continuing into the Fall. The flowers quickly fade
from white to pink and slowly turn to rust. Eriogonum arborescens is
hardy into the single digits. Eriogonum arborescens is a great
addition to the butterfly garden.
