Eriogonum gracilipes
Also called White Mountains Buckwheat, Raspberry Buckwheat
White Mountain buckwheat is a small, mat-forming perennial subshrub from the high, dry slopes of California and Nevada, valued for its white-hairy foliage and raspberry-red flower clusters. It needs full sun, excellent drainage and very little water to thrive, and is best suited to rock gardens or xeric landscapes.
Eriogonum gracilipes is a species of wild buckwheat known by the common name White Mountains buckwheat.
It is found in granite and sandstone gravels on the slopes of the southern Sierra Nevada and Inyo Mountains of California and the White Mountains of California and Nevada.
