Conejo buckwheat presents as a compact shrub, reaching heights of approximately 1 1/2 feet (45 cm) and spreading 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) wide. Its distinctive wooly silver-white leaves provide a stark contrast against the sulfur yellow to chartreuse-yellow flower heads. These blooms grace the plant from late spring through to late summer, shifting to a cinnamon-brown hue as seasons change. Its foliage remains evergreen in temperatures down to around 20 F (-6.7 C) and is capable of resprouting should the top growth be affected by frost.
