Eriogonum fasciculatum var. flavoviride is a yellow-green-leaved buckwheat native to coastal and Baja California, prized for its long-lasting flower clusters that attract native bees and butterflies. It thrives in full sun with excellent drainage and very little supplemental water once established, making it a superb choice for drought-tolerant and native gardens. Avoid overwatering and fertilizing, as lean, dry conditions produce the best growth.
