Eriogonum nudum
Also called Nakedstem Buckwheat
Eriogonum nudum is a perennial wild buckwheat with leafless flower stems rising up to about two metres from a basal rosette of flat green leaves. It is adaptable across dry and coastal habitats, and the key to growing it is well-drained soil and full sun.
Eriogonum nudum is a perennial shrub of the wild buckwheat genus which is known by the common name naked buckwheat or nude buckwheat.
Naked buckwheat can be found scattered around the west coast of the United States. This species has one of the widest ecological distributions of all of the buckwheats. It can be found at wet coastal sea level locales and the coldest, driest elevations of the Sierra Nevada, as well as many areas in between.
