Eriogonum niveum
Eriogonum niveum
Snow buckwheat is a tough native perennial from the Pacific Northwest, prized for its white woolly foliage and clusters of small flowers. Plant it in well-drained soil in a partially shaded to sunny spot and water moderately, as it dislikes consistently wet conditions. It is an excellent low-maintenance choice for native pollinator gardens and rocky slopes.
