Eriogonum grande var. rubescens

Red buckwheat. A low-growing perennial to 12” tall and 2-3’ wide. Crinkled leaves, 1-3” long, are green above and woolly-white beneath. Summer flowers are held above the foliage in a dusty-rose, ball-like inflorescence. Best used in coastal gardens with little water. Perfect companion for Dudleyas and Sedums in the rock garden. Flower color varies significantly in the nursery trade. We continue to work with deep rose-colored mother plants for our stock. Hardy to 20F. San Miguel and Santa Cruz Islands. Eriogonum grande var. rubescens are available this week in #1 containers.
