Our California Native Wildflower seed mix is custom designed and native to a wide variety of zones throughout California (see distribution map). We thoughtfully selected wildflowers that are appropriate to this area and that provide a variety of bold and delicate blossoms; with both early and late blooming wildflowers for color through the growing season. This mix has been designed with an emphasis on native wildflowers and with special attention to balanced percentages of annuals and perennials.
The colors in bloom will vary at different times of the year, and depending on how much water and sunlight are available to the wildflowers. The colors which you will see at different times of the year will include: blues, purples, pinks, reds, yellows, and oranges.
The actual composition of wildflowers will vary from season to season and from year to year, but generally you will receive the following wildflowers in each order of this mix:
White yarrow Achillea millefolium
Elegant clarkia Clarkia unguiculata
Chinese houses Collinsia heterophylla
California poppy Eschscholzia californica
Globe gilia Gilia capitata
Birds eye gilia Gilia tricolor
Dwarf goldfields Lasthenia californica
Tidy tips Layia platyglossa
Golden lupine Lupinus microcarpus densiflorus
Arroyo lupine Lupinus succulentus
Mission red monkeyflower Mimulus aurantiacus punieceus
Five spot Nemophila maculate
Baby blue eyes Nemophila menziesii
California bluebells Phacelia campanularia
Blue eyed grass Sisyrhinchium bellum
This mix will make a great addition to any area of your landscape that you want to enhance the color with wildflowers that are not commonly found in typical store-bought seed mixes. Many of the seeds in this mix have been hand-harvested from the wild and, until now, have only been available to professional and commercial buyers. Now you can have a beautiful, unique mix of wildflowers that will offer a sense of natural wildflower beauty and locally adapted native plant authenticity in your landscape.
This mix has been a real favorite for sprucing up the color in areas such as:
Meadows
Open fields
Cabin sites
Next to walk-ways
Flower gardens
Window boxes
Hillsides and other sloped areas
Any area with partial to full sun and available moisture (rainfall or irrigation).
This wildflower mix contains no grasses and no fillers. We pride ourselves on our professional-grade wildflower seeds. Many of our customers may want to partner this mix with a low-growing grass. In these circumstances, we recommend our California Habitat Mix.
