Kannah Creek Buckwheat
A Colorado native, this durable perennial flower produces masses of bright yellow blossoms. The blooms deepen to orange as they age.
The green leaves form a low mat. In the autumn, the foliage turns to a vivid purple-red, adding color when most flowers are gone. Kannah Creek buckwheat is very durable and drought tolerant once established, growing naturally in western Colorado.
