Slender-flowered buckwheat is a tough western native perennial suited to well-drained, gritty soils in partial shade to full sun. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as the plant matures and becomes more self-sufficient. It is a great pollinator plant for native and xeriscape gardens across the intermountain West.
