Eriogonum wrightii var. wrightii var. wrightii
Wright's buckwheat is a tough, shrubby perennial native to the American Southwest and northwest Mexico, valued for its clusters of white to pinkish flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Plant it in full sun to part shade with fast-draining soil and water sparingly; it is very intolerant of wet roots. Once established, it needs little care and is an excellent addition to native, xeriscape, or desert-style gardens.
