Many of California’s most beautiful wildflowers are also the easiest to grow. This mix of resilient varieties is designed for success in average garden soil with minimal water and no extra fertilizer once established. Simply sow in fall or early spring to transform any sunny spot into a thriving, low-maintenance meadow. The succession of blooms will attract a wide array of pollinators and reliably selfsow for future seasons to come without being invasive.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Annual
Spring/summer bloom. Frost tender.
Best to Start Directly Outdoors
In early spring, as soon as soil can be worked, sow seeds directly into a finely textured, welldrained garden bed in full sun. In mild climates, sow in cool fall weather for spring bloom. Shake packet to mix. Scatter the seed thinly and evenly over the soil, aiming to have the seeds about 1 to 3 inches or so apart. Cover lightly, about ¼ inch deep, and gently firm the soil over the seeds - a flat rake is handy for this step.
Water thoroughly and evenly with a gentle spray. Keep the seed bed moist while awaiting germination. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to final spacing of 6 to 8 inches apart so they have room to mature.
Growing Notes
This fast-growing annual mix blooms in succession from early spring thru summer and provides a sustained feast for bees and other pollinators. Self-sows nicely for future seasons of bloom.
