Seeding Recommendations
Late fall–early winter (Nov–Jan)
- Takes advantage of winter moisture
- Supports native annuals (Clarkia, baby blue eyes, poppy)
- Mimics natural germination cycles
Avoid: Late spring or summer plantings unless irrigation is available
Erosion Control
-
On slopes or dunes:
- Use certified weed-free straw at very light rates
- Avoid erosion blankets unless required (can suppress natives)
Quick Success Checklist
- Seed in late fall
- Shallow placement
- Weed control upfront
- Minimal disturbance after seeding
- Patience — natives reward time
Note: All of our mixes can be customized to meet your needs.
