Bring the dance of delicate spring-summer wildflowers and the strong scents of the California chaparral to your garden at home. Spreading purple, yellow and pink blossoms, winter blooming ceanothus, and other dry-loving wildflowers explode in seasonal show, with restrained appearances in fall-winter. All species in full sun package borderline xeric. Looks best with some supplemental water. Trying digging a 1' deep swale upslope of the garden, laying a soaker hose in it and back filling with wood chip. Run soaker hose 1x week in summer. Or run your laundry grey water to it.

Package Variants

Part shade packages will be substituted with shade tolerant native wildflowers of similar colors and profiles wherever possible (somewhat taller growing formation typical for shade). I.e. Bush Anenome for Matilija Poppy, Golden rod for Bush poppy, Hummingbird sage for red buckwheat etc. 

Northern California -  customers in inland areas will have the following substitutes: for sundrops - siskiyou daisy or galliardia, for red buckwheat - globe mallow or fragaria 'lipstick' and for woolly blue curls - coyote mint 

Sorry for the price hike NorCal - real estate (and thus nursery prices) are more expensive here. 

Not suitable for areas with extended periods of hard frost.
