Red-flowered Buckwheat (Eriogonum grande var. rubescens) is a compact, attractive perennial native to California's Channel Islands, now widely used across the state. Its rosy flower clusters bloom from spring through fall, attracting a diverse range of pollinators, particularly butterflies. Post-bloom, the seeds serve as a valuable food source for birds. This moderately spreading plant thrives in full sun with minimal summer irrigation, making it ideal for small spaces, rock gardens, borders, and slopes, especially when paired with other drought-tolerant species.
