Red-Flowered Buckwheat
An attractive low sub-shrub that rows in low mounds to approx. 2′ tall x 10″ wide.
The buckwheats are very important butterfly plants and one of the pillars of their plant communities, but deer like to browse on them so keep them protected.
Red-flowered buckwheat is one of the showiest of the buckwheats. It has pale red or pink flowers that bloom from June-October.
Superb in borders and containers; excellent for rock gardens or used liberally as a filler. Suitable companions include saffron buckwheat, purple sage, golden yarrow, seaside daisy, clarkias and dudleyas
