Description

‘Warriner Lyle’ is a low-growing selection of the widespread California buckwheat. It grows in a spreading mound to about 2 feet tall and six feet wide, with fine needle-like leaves covering draping branches. The flowers of late spring and early summer are white with just a hint of pink. The long bloom attracts a variety of pollinators. The dark seed heads can be left on through the winter as a seed source for birds, or trimmed off in the fall for a cleaner appearance. ‘Warriner Lytle’ seems to be more widely available than the other low-growing California buckwheat selection, ‘Theodore Payne,’ perhaps because it is more accepting of medium draining soil. This is a great buckwheat for small spaces, and is a good candidate for a parking strip.
