Eriogonum grande var. rubescens is a fast-growing, evergreen perennial featuring a low-growing, spreading, mounding habit, leaves that are glossy dark green on top with a pale, wooly underside, and vivid pink-to-red pom-pom flowers from spring through fall. Uses include groundcover, slope stabilization, rock garden, border plant. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Thrives in full sun near the coast, but appreciates partial shade in hot, inland areas. It is highly adaptable to different soil conditions, doing well in sandy soils, rocky cliffs, and even clay if drainage is good. Low Water use; very low water use once established. Summer irrigation should be minimal. Fire-resistant. Verticillium wilt resistant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Cold hardy to 15°F.
