Don't let its humdrum name fool you — with long-lasting, delicate red blooms, this plant is an absolute showstopper in the garden. It is insanely easy to grow, and in our trials it flowered mid-July through October. This remarkably long flowering period feeds all kinds of pollinators, and makes it a great nectar plant for beekeepers! This buckwheat was originally collected by Akio Ujihara, a professor emeritus from Shinshu University, growing wild at an elevation of 12,000 feet in the Himalayas. Today it is grown all over the world, and is renowned for its beauty as a cover crop or in mixed plantings.
