Favorite California Native Plants for Fall Planting
Planting Natives in Cool Months is Best!
This gives plants time to get established, with much of the irrigation supplied by nature's rain. Our plants are high quality and well rooted. We expect to have a good supply of the following plants this winter.
We have assembled a collection of plants suited for Fall planting, grouping them into "Fall and Winter Fruits & Nuts" and "Spring and Summer Blooms". View each article by clicking on the respective title.
