A low-grow, low-water, low-maintenance, fire-wise, wildflower and native grass lawn that supports pollinators.

Inspired by the super-bloom meadows of California, we developed this as an alternative to traditional lawns.

Unlike non-native turf grass (with its high-water requirements and low ecological value), our California Wild Lawn provides:

  • Native grasses and wildflowers comprising a low-stature meadow that you can actually walk on. 
  • Infrequent mowing. Cut the lawn low at the beginning of the summer dry season to eliminate combustible biomass, in periods of abundant rainfall, let it grow lush with flowers.
  • A water-smart ground cover that does not require irrigation beyond initial establishment -- in the event of a drought, just mow it low and let it remain dormant. Life will spring back when natural rains return.
  • A dazzling color display that feeds native bees, butterflies, and songbirds, and richly textured native grass that resemble a wild grassland.

Mix Composition:

Re-Seeding Annual Wildflowers (49%): California Goldfields (Lasthenia californica), Five Spot (Nemophila maculata), Red Maids (Calandrinia ciliata), Farewell to Spring (Clarkia amoena), Tomcat Clover (Trifolium wildenovii), Tidy Tips (Layia platyglossa), Chinese Houses (Collinsia heterophylla), Bird’s Eye (Gilia tricolor), Bicolor Lupine (Lupinus bicolor), California Bluebell (Phacelia campanularia), Dwarf California Poppy (Eschscholzia caespitosa), Foothill Clover (Trifolium ciliolatum), Maiden Clover (Trifolium microcephalum), Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii), Owl’s Clover (Castilleja exserta), Goldfields (Lasthenia glabrata)

Perennial Wildflowers (6%): Springbank Clover (Trifolium wormskioldii), Perennial California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica var. Martima), turf-type Western yarrow (Achillea millefolium ‘Yaak’)

Native Grasses (55%): Seashore Bentgrass (Agrostis pallens), Three Week Fescue (Festuca microstachys), Idaho Fescue (Festuca idahoensis), Molate Red Fescue (Festuca rubra ‘Molate’), California Oatgrass (Danthonia californica), Western Fescue (Festuca occidentalis), Prairie Junegrass (Koeleria macrantha)

Appropriate Range: This mix is well adapted to most locations from Southern Oregon through Southern California, at elevations ranging from sea-level to about 3,000 feet, and areas with an average of 10 or more inches of annual precipitation. (Note this mix will do okay in dry areas, such as the southern San Joaquin Valley, but may need supplemental irrigation for establishment).

Butterfly Host Plants: The various plants in this mix are likely caterpillar host plants for the following butterflies: Springbank Clover, Maiden Clover, Foothill Clover and Tomcat Clover: western cloudywing (Thorybes diversus), Queen Alexandra’s sulphur (Colias alexandra), Shasta blue (Plebejus shasta), greenish blue (Plebejus saepiolus), Chinese Houses, Owl’s Clover, and Farewell to Spring: Pacific green sphinx moth (Proserpinus lucidus), Grasses: sandhill skipper (Polites sabuleti), roadside skipper (Amblyscirtes vialis), Sonora skipper (Polites sonora), Linsey’s skipper (Hesperia lindseyi), western branded skipper (Hesperia colorado).

Establishment Recommendations: This mix is best established from Autumn through late Winter in most locations, but can be started at other times with supplemental irrigation during initial establishment. (If established with supplemental irrigation, watering should be discontinued at the beginning of the next rainy season).

Seed should be surface-scattered directly onto well-prepared bare-ground. Existing lawns can be removed and replaced with this mix by using a sod-cutter, herbicides, or by smothering with tarps or cardboard. Please see our basic site preparation guidelines here for an overview. Note that new planting sites (where there previously was no lawn) should be largely free of competing weed seed such as cheatgrass and may need several seasons of preparation to create a clean seed bed.

Maintenance and Fire Notes: While the species in this seed mix are relatively low stature, in conditions with excellent soil fertility and moisture, the mature flowering canopy can reach more that 18-inches in height. Selective cutting with secateurs, a scythe, or string trimmer can manage height expectations during the growing season.

Note that while this wild lawn is great alternative to traditional lawns and can tolerate occasional foot traffic, it is not as durable as non-native turf grass. We do not recommend this mix for high-traffic areas, including areas with significant pet activity.

Natural California grasslands largely go dormant in summer with the onset of the dry season. To reduce fire-risk, we recommend cutting down the wild lawn after flowering, and before the lawn completely dries out. (Mowing to about 4-inches is ideal, and rough cutting with a scythe is an excellent, wildlife-friendly option). The mowed biomass should be either cut and bagged, or raked up and removed from the site. (Note that to preserve small invertebrate life in the lawn clippings, the mowed material can be composted in a safe nearby location and occasionally watered to reduce combustibility and enhance composting efficiency.

This list is informed by fire-wise native plant guidelines developed by the Fire Safe Council of San Diego, the Fire Safe Council for Monterey County, the Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County, and the City of Anaheim Fire & Rescue. We have intentionally selected plants for their low-fire risk benefits.

With sufficient heat and dry conditions however, any landscape plants are combustible. For this reason, we recommend consulting fire-wise resources for maintaining a defensible space near structures. Core principles to consider include reducing vegetation immediately adjacent to homes and buildings, and maintaining vertical spacing between ground vegetation and the lower canopy of trees and shrubs so that ground-based fires cannot jump to low-hanging tree branches.

Note that by cutting your lawn after flowering, you increase the potential for your wildflowers to reseed themselves. However, some native wildflowers naturally decline in abundance over time. To increase the abundance of your favorite flowers, your wild lawn can be periodically (every few years) mowed low to the ground re-seeded with select wildflower species.

Seed Mix Weight: 1-pound (enough to cover about 800 to 1000 square feet).

Zinc Oxide Sunscreen is the best choice!
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’m happy I decided on Coppertone Pure & Simple Zinc Oxide Sunscreen. The 6 ounce bottle is well worth the price as a little goes a long way. I always give the bottle a good shake before applying it. This was the first year I sought out all zinc oxide sunscreens. I wanted to avoid the bad ingredients in regular sunscreens I’ve used in the past. This is free of octinoxate & oxybenzone which are the 2 main bad ingredients in most sunscreens. This pure & simple sunscreen is free of PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) which is an ingredient you should avoid in the interest of protecting your overall well-being. It’s also parabens, dye & fragrance free. I like the 50 SPF. I did some research on what it’s a good SPF to look for. This is what I learned: “SPF50 will last 2 hours in the sun. It should protect you 50 times as long as your skin would be able to naturally protect itself. However, remember that the lower the SPF and longer the length of time since application, the less UVB rays will be filtered so a reapplication every two hours is highly recommended.” Another great feature this sunscreen has is the active ingredient of zinc oxide is at 24.08%. I didn’t know what that meant so again I researched it. This is what I learned: “It’s recommended looking for a sunscreen label for a zinc oxide concentration of 20-25% for best protection from UVA and UVB rays.” So thumbs up on everything this Coppertone Pure & Simple sunscreen offers. Be careful as it comes out a little watery quickly but it rubs nicely onto my skin & is absorbed immediately. There’s no residue or white cast look to it period. Yesterday I worked outside for 5 hours. I took a couple breaks & did reapply after 2 hours. I didn’t burn period. This sunscreen kept my skin safe. I also decided to apply it to my face because I had it handy with me outside & my face sunscreen was in the house. This was lightweight on my face & didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I feel it could easily be used as a facial sunscreen. So many positives I’ve found with this sunscreen! I most definitely recommend it!

Doesn’t wash off easily
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It protects from the sun BUT it does not wash off. You’ll need to use some exfoliant wash or sponge to get it off. And you run the risk of staying certain materials if it isn’t washed off all the way and you go to bed with damp skin or hair. My pillow case became rust stained but I just couldn’t get the sunscreen off. It absorbed decently for a mineral sunscreen though. No crazy odor. Careful on the face for those with sensitive skin. It made my face very hot and itchy but no rash.

Great mineral sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great mineral sunscreen, rubs in well, protects well during high UV times, doesn't sweat off, not strong smell. Used this for fist time on a 95% high humidifier day while walking around Pittsburgh between 11am-3pm. No burning at all. There is a film left but that's for almost all sunscreen, so not any difference with this one. Easy to rub in and may leave a slight white coat but not as noticeable as some other mineral products. I will buy this again and recommend.

One of the bests
I’m a full time trucker and I wear sunscreen everyday. In my opinion, this is the best sunscreen out there. It feels like makeup primer on skin, it dries clear. The white cast has always been a turn off for me looking like a geisha to work or the white cast residue on the collar was icky. Although this feels oily and shiny a bit glass skin but not sticky just powdery feel. I recommend it 👍🏻
