Fine Buckwheat from seed collected in Kern Co. CA at 7830'.  This population is one of the most compact forms of this variety with very small, gray-white leaves on a low mat that can eventually get 2' across.  The flower stems can be 16" tall, and unlike its pom-pom flowered kin, the white to pale pink flowers are ranked along the stem to nice effect.  Dryish mineral soil zones 5-8.
