This mixture of annual and perennial wildflowers are native or naturalized to the Greater San Francisco Bay Area in California. This mix will produce excellent color in a wide range of climates and has low water requirements. Fall planting results in an earlier and longer blooming period. Spring planting can be successful with supplemental irrigation. Seed may be sown alone or in conjunction with selected grasses. The colors in bloom will vary at different times of the year, depending on how much water and sunlight are available to the wildflowers. The colors which you will see at different times of the year will include: blues, purples, pinks, reds, yellows, and oranges. The actual composition of wildflowers will vary from season to season and from year to year, but generally you will receive the following wildflowers in each order of this mix:



  • White Yarrow, Achillea millefolium

  • Wall Flower, Cheiranthus allionii

  • Farewell-to-Spring, Clarkia amoena

  • Chinese Houses, Collinsia heterophylla

  • California Poppy, Eschscholzia californica

  • Globe Gilia, Gilia capitata

  • Baby’s Breath, Gypsophila elegans

  • Tidy Tips, Layia platyglossa

  • Toadflax, Linaria vulgaris

  • Scarlet Flax, Linum grandiflorum

  • Golden Lupine, Lupinus densiflorus

  • Arroyo Lupine, Lupinus succulentus

  • Baby Blue-Eyes, Nemophila menziesii


This mix will make a great addition to any area of your landscape that you want to enhance the color with wildflowers that are not commonly found in typical store-bought seed mixes. Many of the seeds in this mix have been hand-harvested from the wild and, until now, have only been available to professional and commercial buyers. Now you can have a beautiful, unique mix of wildflowers that will offer a sense of natural wildflower beauty and locally adapted native plant authenticity in your landscape. This mix has been a real favorite for sprucing up the color in areas such as:



  • Meadows

  • Open fields

  • Cabin sites

  • Next to walk-ways

  • Flower gardens

  • Window boxes

  • Hillsides and other sloped areas

  • Any area with partial to full sun and available moisture (rainfall or irrigation).


This wildflower mix contains no grasses and no fillers. We pride ourselves on our professional-grade wildflower seeds. In these circumstances, we recommend our California Habitat Mix. Our California Habitat Mix is a low-growing grass mix that establishes quickly, helping fill in gaps between wildflowers and creating a meadow-like look. Because most of the varieties included in this mix are short-growing bunchgrasses, they won’t hide the beauty of the wildflowers. Our California Habitat Mix is a great complement to this wildflower mix. We recommend buying about a half pound of our California Habitat Mix for every 2000 ft² (1 lb.) of wildflower mix. This amount may be increased or decreased depending on your desired ratio of wildflowers to grass.
