California Buckwheat: Drought-Tolerant Native Pollinator Plant

California buckwheats are workhorse habitat plants for dry Southern California landscapes.

Why gardeners use them

Flower clusters attract diverse insects, age into attractive seed heads and provide a long season of visual interest.

Placement

They generally perform best with sun and drainage suited to the species and should be given room for their natural form.
