Japanese White Buckwheat Seeds – Attracts Bees & Improves Soil Health
Fagopyrum esculentum
Listing is for 1 packet, which is a big scoop of seeds to cover an area roughly 8FTx 8FT if direct sown via broadcasting.
Japanese White Buckwheat is an excellent cover crop that improves soil health while providing a rich nectar source for bees and other pollinators. Its fast-growing, dense foliage helps suppress weeds, prevent soil erosion, and add organic matter when tilled under. As it matures, delicate white flowers bloom in abundance, attracting honeybees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Ideal for poor or depleted soils, buckwheat thrives in warm weather and can be sown mid-summer to early fall for a quick-growing green manure. Direct sow after the last frost, and expect blooms in as little as 4–6 weeks, making it one of the best crops for pollinator-friendly gardens and soil enrichment.

Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
