Parsnipflower Buckwheat (Eriogonum heracleoides), also known as Wyeth Buckwheat, is another attractive member of the buckwheat family. This species grows from a short, woody base and features evergreen, narrow, dark green, leaves with a wooly underside. Adorable creamy, pom pom shaped flowers appear in the summer and fade to a delicate red or orange color with age. Parnsipflower Buckwheat is an extremely low maintenance plant that provides long-season interest in garden beds or borders, cottage gardens, rock or xeric gardens, natural meadow plantings, or slopes or banks for stabilization. Due to its woody base, it does not transplant well after established.
