Eriogonum
grande rubescens * Red Buckwheat or Pink Buckwheat
I use
Eriogonum grande rubescens in full sun or dry dappled shade. Red
Buckwheat is sensitive to excess
water but will spread quite well if given benign neglect. The
round gray-green leaves set off the clusters of pink blooms very well.
Eriogonum grande rebescens grows to about
18" tall and 3' across. Hairsteaks and other butterfly's will
find this buckwheat to be an excellent nectar source. Eriogonum
grande rubescens is native to the Channel Islands.
