Planting Aids for your Seed
What is the California Native Wildflower Mix?
Bring California’s iconic spring bloom to your landscape. Our California Native Wildflower Mix blends poppies, lupines, clarkias, phacelias, blue-eyed grass, yarrow and more—chosen for pollinators, drought resilience, and coastal/inland adaptability. Fall-sown for best results, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and reseeds naturally for years of color.
What's in This Mix
A California native staple with stunning violet-blue spikes that fix nitrogen and support native bumblebees.
The state flower thrives in dry, sunny conditions and provides brilliant orange color spring through summer.
Native bell-shaped blooms in soft blue attract native bees and naturalize beautifully in California meadows.
Coiled clusters of lavender flowers are powerhouse native bee attractors and highly adapted to California soils.
Tiered lavender-and-white flowers thrive in shaded woodland edges, adding structure to native California plantings.
Delicate native perennial with violet-blue flowers that naturalizes well in California's grasslands and meadows.
Showy wine-pink native blooms are perfectly suited to California's dry summer conditions once established.
A tough native perennial with flat-topped white flower clusters that support a wide range of native beneficial insects.
A rare California native clarkia with fan-shaped pink petals, adding regional authenticity to native plantings.
Compact native lupine with blue flower spikes that fix soil nitrogen and support bumble bee populations.
Highly attractive to native bees and honeybees, phacelia produces lavender blooms that naturalize readily in California.

Planting Guide
Time it right (California)
Sow in fall after the first cool, rainy pattern (Oct–Dec statewide; through Feb in mild/coastal areas).
Prep the site
Clear weeds/grass; loosen top 1–2 in only; ensure the top few inches are moist. Avoid soggy, poorly drained areas.
Sow + set the seed
Mix seed with dry sand/vermiculite for even spread. Broadcast, then rake very lightly—keep small seeds at the surface; press for firm seed-to-soil contact. Bury large seeds (lupines) no deeper than ~1/4″.
Water to establish
Let seasonal rains do most of the work; supplement during dry spells to keep soil lightly moist until seedlings size up (4–6 weeks), then back off.

Questions & Answers
When should I plant in my part of California?
Fall is ideal statewide—sow after the first rains and cool temps. Coastal/mild zones can sow through winter (to Feb).
Can I overseed into an existing lawn or weeds?
You’ll get poor results. Remove or suppress existing vegetation and prep the top 1–2″ for best establishment.
How much area does one 0.5-lb bag cover?
About 1,000 sq ft at a dense display rate (our recommendation for quick impact).
Will it reseed and return?
Yes. Annuals typically reseed; perennials like yarrow and blue-eyed grass persist. Leave seed heads until they shatter, then cut or mow once dry if desired.
Is it safe for pets or livestock?
Many ornamentals are not edible. California poppy contains alkaloids—treat as toxic if ingested and prevent grazing/chewing. Always supervise pets.
Which pollinators benefit?
Bees (including natives & honey bees), butterflies, moths, and other beneficials use this mix; lacy phacelia and lupines/clarkias are particularly attractive.
