If you want to attract native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, then consider the Coast Buckwheat. Native to coastal bluffs from Monterey to Oregon, Eriogonum latifolium is a low, mounding perennial that pushes new growth of velvety, silver leaves in the spring. In the summer, grey stems rise above the foliage and produce pom poms of cream flowers. Deer resistant and drought tolerant. Hardy to 25° F, this buckwheat is semi-evergreen and doesn’t look like much in the winter. Plant in full or part sun, and surround with evergreen plants so that it can rise up ethereally in the spring and summer.
