When do buckwheat flowers bloom?

Buckwheat flowers bloom in summer and autumn, and the flowering period is from May to September. Inflorescence is racemose or umbrella-shaped, terminal or axillary, with small protrusions on one side of peduncle. Bracts are ovoid, about 2.5 mm long, green, with membranous edges, and each bud has 3-5 flowers;

Pedicels longer than bracts, jointed, perianth 5-parted, white or reddish, perianth segments elliptic, 3-4 mm long; Stamens 8, shorter than perianth, anthers reddish; Style 3, stigma capitate.

Achene is ovoid, with three sharp edges, tapering at the top, 5-6 mm long, dark brown and dull, longer than persistent perianth, and bears fruit in June 6- 10/0.

Growth habit

Wasteland, roadside? Buckwheat likes cool and humid climate, is not resistant to high temperature, drought and strong wind, is afraid of frost, likes sunshine and needs more water.

The photosynthetic capacity of buckwheat determines the yield. Because the population of buckwheat is generally large in production, the morphology of buckwheat plants, especially the leaf shape, affects the light distribution of population canopy.

Water has an important influence on buckwheat growth. It was found that with the decrease of soil moisture, the number of main stem branches, the number of grains per plant and the weight of 100 grains of tartary buckwheat all showed a downward trend.
