Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a domesticated grass from the Levant that is cultivated worldwide. Globally, wheat is an important human food, its production being second only to maize among the cereal crops; rice ranks third.
Buckwheat is an annual herb, growing up to 1 m tall, hairless or young parts rarely minutely hairy. Stem is ribbed, reddish. Leaves are stalked, stalk 0.5-2 cm long. Lower leaves have long stalks, upper ones are nearly stalkless.
Cow-wheat is said to afford fodder for cattle, though not cultivated in this country for that purpose.
The Buckwheat family is as familiar as rhubarb or sorrel. If you grow either of these plants in your garden, then be sure to look at the flowers and seeds.
Wild Buckwheat is most common in the western United States, where it grows wild and where the hot, dry climate suits it. Use it to cover slopes and banks, in rock gardens or in windy spots.

The flowers open in June as silvery-purple and mature to shades of wheat.
Noteworthy characteristics: Stipa are tufted, clump-forming species are native to temperate and warm temperate regions of the world.
Organic Mulch: Mulching with organic matter like pine straw or wheat straw helps control weeds, conserves moisture and keeps fruit from direct contact with the soil, where they could be infected by diseases.
They were banished in 1966 when some types were found to be hosts to Puccinia graminis, a fungus that infects cereal crops, such as wheat, barley and rye, with a devastating disease called black stem rust.
