Native seeds + A Little Water = Beautiful Flowers!!!

Fast shipping, always fresh seeds, high yields and gorgeous flowers for my Native CALIF. flower garden! I had so many native bees last year, some that I'd never seen before, and more than I could count! They went crazy for the Lacy Phacelia, a bee favorite-glad I bought 5lb bag and another 5 this spring! Not only bees but the hummingbirds and butterflies were delighted! I prepped and planted a much larger area this year so twice, possibly thrice, as many flowers should be coming soon to my garden, along with the pollinators! Also planted some night blooming native evening primrose seed for our local moths too! Already have tons of 3" high greens and it's only late February! Can't wait until late spring and summer! Tidy tips, both kinds of Phacelias, CA poppies, gilia, Even. Primroses, Clarkias, Nemophilas, Cosmos, Penstemons, Godetia, Coreopsis, Rudbeckia, Coneflowers, Cornflowers, Lupines, Yarrow & Herbs too ...a veritable feast for eyes, nose and 2-4 legged and winged visitors!
