Orange (poppy), blues (baby blue eyes, bluebells, phacelias), purples/pinks (clarkias, lupines), white (yarrow).

Water

Low after establishment; keep evenly moist through germination/early growth, then taper.

Native/Introduced

Life Form

Mix of annuals & perennials (e.g., clarkias, lupines = annuals; blue-eyed grass/yarrow = perennials; poppy can be perennial in mild zones).

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.
