Product Overview
Our California Native Fire Wise Mix is a thoughtfully engineered blend of low-flame-fuel native grasses and wildflowers that allows you to create a lush, fire-resilient landscape without sacrificing beauty or biodiversity. This mix includes deep-rooted, bunch-forming grasses and drought-tolerant forbs that establish quickly and act as a natural fuel break—slowing the spread of fire while stabilizing soil and supporting local pollinators.
Seeding Rate: 20 lbs per acre
Key Benefits
• Fire-Resilient Species: Features low-fuel grasses like Deergrass (Muhlenbergia rigens), Purple Needlegrass (Stipa pulchra), and California Fescue (Festuca californica)—chosen to minimize flame intensity and dead-fuel accumulation.
• Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance: Once established, these native plants require little to no supplemental irrigation or fertilizer, and are naturally pest- and disease-resistant.
• Erosion Control & Soil Health: Deep, fibrous roots stabilize soil on slopes and disturbed areas, while wildflowers such as California Yarrow and California Poppy improve organic matter and support pollinators.
• Biodiversity & Habitat: Provides essential nectar and seed resources for native bees, butterflies, and birds—enhancing ecological resilience around homes and communities.
Ideal For
• Defensible-space plantings around homes and outbuildings
• Hillside, slope, and roadside stabilization
• Parks, trailsides, and utility corridors
• Restoration projects requiring both fire safety and habitat value
Planting & Maintenance
• Seeding Time: Fall (preferred) or early spring to take advantage of winter rains.
• Seeding Rate: 15–20 lbs per acre, depending on site conditions.
• Water: Keep seedbed evenly moist until seedlings reach 3–4” in height; afterward, rely on natural rainfall patterns.
• Maintenance: Remove debris and thatch annually. Minimal mowing or light, controlled grazing may be used to manage plant height and appearance.
