‘Kannah Creek’ Sulpherflower Buckwheat

‘Kannah Creek’ Sulpherflower Buckwheat (Eriogonum umbellatum) is a showstopper in any dry garden, offering year-round interest with its low, cushiony foliage and long-lasting blooms. Its vibrant yellow flower clusters erupt in summer, gradually fading to warm oranges and rusts as fall approaches—adding seasonal dimension without any extra work. Native to high elevations and rugged terrain, this buckwheat handles harsh conditions with ease and looks good doing it.

Perfect for rock gardens, borders, or xeriscapes, Kannah Creek is more than just tough—it’s also a favorite of native bees and butterflies. Its neat form and evergreen leaves offer structure through winter, making it a versatile and dependable pick for naturalistic landscapes or low-maintenance curb appeal. This is the plant that thrives on neglect—and rewards you with color and wildlife all season long.
