Pair With Our California Habitat Grass Mix

To create a cohesive native landscape with meadow-like structure, we recommend pairing this mix with our California Habitat Grass Mix. It helps fill in gaps, prevents erosion, and supports wildflower growth without overpowering blooms.

Suggested Ratio: Add ½ lb. of California Habitat Mix for every 1 lb. of wildflower seed (covers approx. 2,000 ft²).

Seeding & Maintenance

• Seeding Rate: 1 lb. covers ~2,000 ft² (15–20 lb/acre)
• Planting Time: Fall is ideal (to use winter rains), or spring with irrigation
• Soil Prep: Remove weeds and loosen soil to 2–3 inches
• Watering: Keep moist during germination (3–4 inches tall), then rely on rainfall
• Maintenance: Mow once per year after seed set to promote longevity
