Overview

The Interior California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum var. polifolium) is a hardy, evergreen shrub native to California. It flourishes in full sun, reaching 2-3 feet in height and width. Its small, needle-like leaves form dense clusters, while white to pinkish flower clusters attract pollinators from late spring to fall. Adapted to arid conditions, it requires minimal water, making it an excellent choice for drought-tolerant landscapes and native plant gardens.
