Eriogonum fasciculatum is an important honey plant that is attractive to butterflies. It is also useful to help stabilize slopes and hillsides. It forms hemispheres of growth, topped with pinkish-white blossoms in the summer that turn to rusty red in the fall. It is easy to grow, even in very dry conditions. It does best in a well-draining sunny site. It will tolerate occasional summer water better than most extremely summer-dry tolerant California natives.
