This is my latest favorite plant, Eriogonum ericifolia (translated as heath-leafed buckwheat I think). It is a compact plant that grows slowly, forming a nicely rounded 8-10 inch (so far) bun. About this time of year, it blooms with clean white heads of flowers. In my garden, I find that after the first year, it requires no water at all. It's main problem is a tendency to die back in branches if it gets too much water.
