Assorted Seed
A drought tolerant meadow is an excellent replacement for a resource intensive, inefficient
lawn. Tree of Life Nursery offers a variety of customized native wildflower blends for use in
southern California gardens. Seed is supplied by S & S Seeds of Carpinteria, California. This
mixture of perennial bunchgrasses and herbaceous flowering natives will create a dynamic
ecosystem right in your front yard! Consider combining it with one of our other seed blends
(like Nature Mix or Foothill Mix...) or plant additional low, spreading perennials for added
color and textures.

Planting instructions: Seedbed or area to be seeded should be prepared by light cultivation and
weed removal. Optimum planting season is November 15 through March 31, just prior to
anticipated rain. Broadcast seed evenly over soil surface. Rake the area lightly to incorporate
seed into the top 1/4"- 1/2" of soil. A top dressing of composted organic mulch (not manure)
is recommended to help maintain even moisture during the germination period.
Maintenance: Irrigate just enough (between rains) to maintain soil moisture during
germination. After germination until initial flowering, sprinkle the area to a depth of about 2".
After flowering, little to no supplemental water should be needed. Allow the seed heads to
remain after flowering. This encourages reseeding for next year.
