California buckwheat is an exceptionally drought-tolerant native shrub perfect for low-water landscapes and pollinator gardens in USDA zones 7–10. Plant it in well-draining soil in a sunny to partly shaded spot and water only occasionally once established. Avoid overwatering or rich soils, as this plant thrives on neglect and naturalistic conditions.
