Fall is the best time to plant most California natives. Cooler weather and rain get them off to a good start by helping them grow deep roots – perfect for seeds or transplants. Many nurseries and native plant groups have fall plant sales. On our introductory California Native Gardening web page, you’ll find inspiration and resources to help you get started and get planting. Get the basics on planting wildflowers on our California Native Wildflowers web page.
