Description

An award winning groundcover “CA Buckwheat” that is blanketed in 15” tall canary-yellow flower clusters all Summer long! This extremely low-growing selection only reaches about 6-10” tall, spreading to cover up to two feet with dense, attractive foliage. It’s perfect for edging a low-water or CA natives bed! Hailing from the Kannah Creek region of Western Colorado, it provides interest all year with the yellow blooms aging to rusty-red and eventually producing seedpods that are highly attractive to birds. In late Fall, the small, elliptic, grayish-green leaves acquire an attractive burgundy blush. Provide good drainage and avoid over-watering. “California Buckwheats” are one of the best plants for sustaining a wide range of local pollinators (especially butterflies), with seeds and leaves alike harvested by local critters.

Pretty foliage, never bloomed. 8b, 1200 above sea level.
Planted in June, full sun, but never did get any flowers. 1 of 2 died but the one that lived makes a beautiful groundcover nonetheless. Hopefully next summer for flowers?
