The bahia-leaved sulfur buckwheat is a rare California endemic perennial that prefers well-drained, rocky soils and sunny to partly shaded exposures. Water occasionally during the growing season and reduce irrigation in winter to mimic its natural dry-season conditions. This uncommon native is a rewarding choice for collectors of California wildflowers and habitat restoration projects.
