  • Notes

Eriogonum fasciculatum is fast growing, woody perennial with tiny narrow leaves and pink-white flower heads that dry to a rust color.
Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
