Description

(16-18" tall x 24-30" wide) Arrowleaf Buckwheat (Eriogonum compositum) is an uncommon native species from the dry areas of the Pacific Northwest, known for its large butterfly-attracting flowers and value to pollinators and beneficial insects. In the garden, the large triangular leaves grow in a low, compact mat and push up tall flower spikes in late spring. A tough and resilient perennial with a deep taproot, Arrowleaf Buckwheat produces large seeds that are an important food source for songbirds and many other small seed-eating animals. The plant likes well-drained soils and full sun. Recommended spring blooming companion plants include English Lavender, blue-flowered Penstemon (Beardtongue) and Calylophus (Sundrops).

Reviews

Maybe doesn't appreciate being so dry.

"I say perhaps they don't like being so dry, because I bought 3 plants four years ago, and just one of the three is now blooming for the first time. Maybe they'd do better with more moisture, I haven't been watering them after the first year, and with the exception of one year, we haven't gotten over 10. 5"" precipitation since they've been in the ground. Those also are NOT evergreen, this species is entirely herbaceous, and every other source will tell you the same thing. It's a nice Eriogonum, but it's definitely not been the best performer of the species I've grown."
