Eriogonum fasciculatum 'Theodore Payne' - California Buckwheat

Description

This low growing selection of California Buckwheat hails from the Theodore Payne Foundation in Southern California. It is tough as nails, deer resistant, fast growing spreader, making it a great plant for covering a hot dry hillside. Dark green foliage similar to Rosemary forms a tight mat, with delicate clusters of blush pink-white flowers appearing in mid-spring. Good combined with other drought tolerant sun lovers, like Sagebrush, Salvias, and Brittlebush.  Grows to about 1’ high and can get up to 8’ wide (but can be pruned in).
