Planting Instructions for California Wildflowers
When to Plant
If planting into a “wild” area, where the seeds will be left on their own, it is best to plant in late fall (Oct or Nov). The seeds will germinate when the ground has received enough rain and can use the rain irrigation to get somewhat established before the rain season ends.
