Small, spoon-shaped leaves are gray-green above with a soft, woolly texture underneath, adding year-round interest. Once established, it requires very little supplemental water and is an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn inland gardens, provide a little more protection from intense afternoon sun than would be necessary in coastal locations.

The seed heads provide an important food source for birds and can be removed after birds have finished feeding or the seed has naturally dispersed. The long blooming season also provides a valuable, sustained nectar source for butterflies, including Gray Hairstreak and Acmon Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePrune lightly in fall to maintain a tidy appearance, taking care not to cut into old wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFlex flexIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 ft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFlex flexIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 ft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFlex flexIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade along the coast, partial shade inland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFlex flexIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low once established\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"the PLNThouse Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67625134260439,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/7522\/2231\/files\/IMG_6940.png?v=1791148011","url":"https:\/\/www.theplnthouse.com\/products\/eriogonum-grande-var-rubescens-5-gallon-red-buckwheat","provider":"the PLNThouse Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
