Description
Gentle Giant Sulphur Buckwheat (Eriogonum umbellatum 'Gentle Giant') blooms with a profusion of bright yellow flat-topped flowers in early summer. An especially large-growing selection of the western native E. umbellatum, this long-lived shrubby perennial is an excellent choice for planting in the hot, dry, poor soil. It will attract numerous native bee species and other beneficial insects. This is an especially attractive companion plant for pairing with English and French hybrid lavenders.
