Huge, flat-topped flower clusters create a dome of bright yellow color over large attractive gray-green leaves. Flowers age to a bronzey-orange color. Eriogonum allenii is a rare native species from the mountain of Virginia and West Virginia, also known as Shale Barrens Buckwheat. Suitable for dry slopes, shallow soils, rock gardens, xeriscape, roof gardens, dry flower beds, and large containers. Blooming throughout the summer and into fall, Little Rascal is highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. This low-care buckwheat is more moisture tolerant than most and can be grown across much of the US when planted in full sun and well drained soils. Grows to 16″ tall.
