Eriogonum panguicense alpestre en-situ.

Tucked among the windswept edges of the Claron Formation, Eriogonum panguicense var. alpestre endures in one of Utah’s most spectacular alpine landscapes. This variety of Panguitch buckwheat clings to crumbling limestone and dolomite soils above 10,000 feet, thriving where few others dare. Its low, cushion-like form and soft pink flower clusters are a quiet testimony to resilience—adapted to short growing seasons, biting winds, and the stark beauty of the high Markagunt Plateau.
