Greene's buckwheat is a rare California native perennial wildflower best suited to well-drained, rocky or gravelly soils in open or lightly shaded spots. Water infrequently once established and avoid clay-heavy soils that retain moisture. This low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for native habitat gardens and supports a variety of native pollinators.
