Coast buckwheat
Coast Buckwheat is a small evergreen sub-shrub, usually on coastal bluffs. It grows quickly to a nice mound about 2′ tall and wide. Space 2-3′ apart.
The round clusters of cream-colored flowers bloom April – September, turning rusty pink as they dry. A favorite of butterflies and honeybees!
Its form, foliage, and flowers are attractive additions to rock gardens and mixed borders. This also is an excellent plant for erosion control and is tolerant of poor soils.
Partners well with seaside daisy, sandhill sagebrush, quail bush, and reedgrass.
