Establish with regular but judicious (not excessive) watering in its first dry season. Thereafter, it appreciates winter rains and fog drip during the summer, but often responds poorly to heavy summer watering. You can let your buckwheat go bone dry before watering during summer. Waiting for the lower leaves to shed will help ensure you aren't overwatering. If you choose to withhold summer water entirely, your plant may look withered or 'dead' by August, with fewer, duller leaves, but will flush out new growth quickly with rain (or irrigation) in the fall.

Good drainage is helpful, especially if you plan on watering during summer to keep the plant from looking too stressed.

Notas de cultivo

Native to our Mediterranean climate as well as parts of the Southwest where summer monsoon rains fall and carefree in California landscapes with minimal watering. Though they can be planted year-round, planting during the fall coincides nicely with the plant's active growing season.

Full sun conditions are best.
