California native seeds
California native plants have evolved to be well-adapted to the local climate, soil types, and ecosystems of California. Native plants, especially wildflowers, support many pollinators including bees, butterflies, and birds. California native grasses and perennial wildflowers have deep root systems that provide excellent erosion control and require less water than non-native plants.

Choosing California non-native seeds:
For a variety of reasons, gardeners may choose to mix in plants that are not native to California into their projects. There are many non-native species that still grow well in Northern California and Southern California climates. When choosing a wildflower seed mix that is non-native, it is important to pick species that are not invasive.
Will non-native seeds still grow?
Non-native seeds will still grow in California. Be sure to learn about the different set of planting requirements between native and non-native seeds before planting. For example, non-native seeds often need more frequent watering than native seeds.
How do I know which seeds will work in my region?
From the coast to the deserts, California is full of many small regions with differences in soil type and ‘microclimates’. The best way to learn which seeds will work well in your region is to find a local public garden or nursery and talk to the experts. You can visit Bloom! California to learn more about the public gardens and nurseries in your area.
