[Wikipedia] Wildlife Uses: It is a honey plant that supports a numerous diversity and count of pollinators when blooming. It especially supports pollinator insect species native to California, as most of the state's native buckwheats do. It is a very important butterfly nectar source plant.[3] The flowers, leaves, and seeds are all used by many smaller animals. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
