About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Red buckwheat is a pink-flowered annual buckwheat (Fagopyrum) grown for its reddish stems and clouds of small pink flowers. It develops upright, leafy growth rather than the low perennial mat described for Californian wild buckwheat.

Choose full sun and a well-drained bed. Plants commonly reach about 2-3 feet, with height affected by sowing date and conditions. Sow after frost, covering the seed about 1/4 inch deep, and thin to approximately 6 inches apart.

Under suitable conditions, seedlings typically emerge in 7-12 days and the first flowers may appear about 6-8 weeks after sowing. These are growing estimates, not a grain-harvest date; seed ripening occurs later. Pink flowers provide seasonal interest in garden beds and can attract visiting insects. Frost ends the annual growth cycle.

Drought tolerant and hardy

I planted these in a dry, sunny area of my yard, they thrived with very little water. Red leaves add great color contrast, no pest problems at all.
