This Idaho-endemic variety of round-headed buckwheat is a rare, slow-growing native perennial suited to well-drained soils in open rocky terrain. Provide full sun to part shade and water occasionally during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry thoroughly between sessions. It requires very little maintenance once established and is best appreciated in a native plant or rock garden setting.
