Eriogonum compositum
Arrowleaf buckwheat is a hardy perennial plant native to the western United States, particularly in dry, rocky, and mountainous regions. It features dense clusters of small, white to pinkish flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, growing atop woody stems. The plant has leathery, silvery-gray leaves that form a low, sprawling mat. Eriogonum compositum is well adapted to arid environments, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. It’s a valuable plant for dry rock gardens and serves as a food source for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
