I grow Eriogonum umbellatum not for the chrome yellow pompom flowers that bloom for a month in April-May, but for the rusty red colors that appear as the flowers fade in late May to June. I also grow it for the delicious solidly wine-red winter leaves, that add color to the garden when little else does. This mat-like plant needs no water in my garden, an astonishing thing in Albuquerque.
