Eriogonum arborescens / Santa Cruz Island Buckwheat

Folks love plants from our local Channel Islands, and Santa Cruz Island Buckwheat (S.C.I.) is one of the prettiest ones we carry.  Growing quickly to 3-6 ft. tall & wide and tolerating clay soils, this beautiful native looks great and fits well in almost any low-water garden. When young, it looks like a needle-leafed ball, but as S.C.I. grows older, it shows off its beautiful curving/ shredding trunk, bringing you years of beauty (like a mini-Manzanita).  Flowers heavily from Summer-Fall, sometimes well over 6 months! Butterflies love the soft-colored white-pink flowers.  A plant that won't overwhelm you with loud colors, but instead enchant you with it's simple beauty year-round.  Full Sun, very little water. Check out this beauty in our garden!
