Fagopyrum esculentum
Buckwheat is an ancient grain-like seed from the Polygonaceae family, cultivated for over 8,000 years throughout Europe and Asia. Fast growing and highly versatile, it can be grown for its nutritious edible seeds or as an outstanding green manure and cover crop.

The masses of delicate white flowers are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, making it an excellent addition to productive gardens.
