Seaside Buckwheat

Overview

Seaside Buckwheat (Eriogonum latifolium) is a perennial California native, thriving in zones 7-10. It forms a low, dense mound 1-3 ft high and 1-3 ft wide, with spoon-shaped leaves and delicate white-to-pink flower clusters that bloom in summer. This drought-tolerant, salt-spray resilient plant attracts beneficial pollinators while requiring minimal maintenance. Ideal for coastal landscapes, it adds year-round interest and erosion control with its evergreen foliage.
