Flora Friday is back! 🌸
Today, we’re spotlighting the Red-flowered Buckwheat (eriogonum grande var. rubescens), found in both the TreePeople “Sunshine Superbloom” and “Pollinator’s Paradise” Native Garden Kit.
This compact buckwheat originated on California’s Channel Islands and has become a common landscaping plant, blooming from spring to fall. The vibrant flowers add a pop of color to native plant gardens and attract various pollinators like butterflies and bees, with seeds serving as a valuable food source for small birds. The Red-flowered Buckwheat is drought tolerant but thrives with small amounts of supplemental water during the summertime, especially in rocky or sloped areas.
Come see the Red-flowered Buckwheat in our Sustainability Garden, or pre-order a Native Garden Kit and add your very own Red-flowered Buckwheat to your garden!
