San Miguel Island Buckwheat, Red-Flowered Buckwheat
This hard-to-find, choice and goof-proof evergreen Buckwheat from the Channel Islands thrives on neglect and prefers dry, clay soil! One of the best butterfly magnets around, it blooms June-October, providing lots of summer color for your habitat, native or dry garden. The shortest, most delicate looking of the Buckwheats, it’s also evergreen, forming a nice, low, dense 1’ x 3’ mound of spoon shaped leaves, green above and wooly below. Excellent for massing on dry hillsides. Deer resistant! Hardy to 15° F.

Planted two a year ago and they haven't grown much beyond their original size. Getting too much sun? Not enough water? Don't like our decomposed sandstone soil? Slow grower?

Charming plant
This has turned into a lovely small mound, which is currently blooming with a delightful mass of light red blooms.

Attractive and Hearty!
My one buckwheat has grown into a 2.5 ft diameter mound. The leaves are attractive and it is covered in the beginnings of a show-stopping bloom. It's thriving with low water in zone 10b.
