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).

Nice wallet. Just received it and used on trip to Italy
Too early to rate for durability, but it came quickly, looks nice, and appears to be well-made. Was a godsend on my trip to Italy and back. With all the times you have to show your passport (usually dragging your luggage with you), my passport was always at the ready, secure in my wallet in my pocket. I would not travel abroad without it. Not only that, it will serve as my daily wallet as well

Pen holder feature isn't good
Color: Cocoa
Edited review: previously I gave this a two-star review because when I inserted the pen into the pen holder the wallet couldn't close anymore... I tried taking it out putting it back in a few times and it seemed obvious to me that something was wrong and I just could not figure out why the wallet possibly was having an issue closing even though it's designed to hold a pen... To me it seemed obvious that when inserting the pen you should have the clip on the inside where are the bills go.... That single millimeter of space that that clip takes up in the bill fold causes the wallet to not be able to close properly so it springs open. Needless to say that felt extremely cheap for a product of this price and I was very unhappy and considering a return and after writing a bad review I happen to see product pictures with the clip on the inside of the wallet where your cards go and it dawned on me that I had just simply put the pen in in the wrong orientation. That completely solves the issue. So updated back to five stars, and the wallet is great. 2n update after using it for a week on an international trip so I was carrying my passport. Worked great - made me feel safe to always have my passport and room for all my most important documents inside a -just- large enough for a passport wallet. I really don't think they could have saved another millimeter and still made such a quality wallet. Having a micro pen in there is icing on the cake - makes you feel like James bond. I also felt safer having a hidden bill compartment so your not showing a fat stack of foreign currency (I mean depends on your use case but I was in some rather poor areas and this added some peace of mind and 'security' in my opinion). You can just keep some small bills up front and your real stack on the hidden flap. I won't dock a star for it - but keeping this on a back pocket so you're sitting on it because it's bigger and the way it holds cards after just one week there's already card imprints on the leather (just imagine your older leather wallets where the cards start wearing through the leather) Also I tested the RFD blocking and it indeed works. I'm unable to scan any cards through the wallet and that was an important feature to me. Even when the wallet is open and I ran scanners directly over cards (in the sleeves) it still didn't pick anything up.

Works
Color: Cocoa
Good wallet that can fit a passport, hold cash, and cards. “Hidden” pockets too, but that just means more storage space to me. Soft and supple leather that gets better when conditioned and cared for properly. Main feature I like is the RFID blocking, I only get wallets that have it. Expensive- yes. Works, also yes.

Really bad amazon customer service
Color: Black
The wallet seems great but the box it came in wasn't sealed. It was supposed to arrive by the 22nd and it arrived 4 days later. I needed it for a trip on the 1st. When I took it out, the wallet had two scratches at the back and the pen was also scratched. I contacted customer service and they couldn't help me in any way to get the replacement item before my departure date. I kept it anyways because of thr necessity. Gave it 3 stars because of the good quality of the wallet

Great Wallet
I'm pretty particular when it comes to things that I need to carry at all times when I'm out. When looking for a new wallet back in 2014, I initially went with the oft recommended Saddleback Leather Medium Bifold. Initially, that wallet seemed to be both durable and well made. Unfortunately, after several months in the back pocket, two things became clear: first, the leather was so taught that it was breaking my credit cards in half at the pinch point of the credit card slot. Second, what I took for durability in the thickness of the leather quickly turned into nuisance as I ended up with an inch thick brick that ruined my seating comfort. I called Saddleback regarding the first point and they told me that it was a known issue and if I didn't like it I could send the wallet back, which I did. That left me at a crossroads with a new requirement: I wanted a leather wallet that was thin enough to not be uncomfortable, held 6 credit/id cards and a handful of bills. I searched around until I came across Bellroy. The travel wallet seemed to check all the boxes and added some features I never knew I needed. After 6 years of use, I finally decided that the original travel wallet I bought in 2014 had run its useful life, down to holes in the leather and all. I liked it so much, I bought another one. There are some subtle differences which I will highlight below. 1. Fits in Your Pocket This is ostensibly the best feature of the wallet. It is large in the two dimensions you shouldn't care about and thin where it counts. I have not found a pair of pants that I would wear that it doesn't fit in. With my passport, 6 credit/id cards, and a dozen bills it is roughly 3/4 inches thick. Fabulous. 2. The Right Pen I had no idea how useful the pen would be. I find occasion to pull it out at least once a week. I used to carry the wonderful Fisher Space Pen, but no longer do as this fills the role in a much for optimized way. Bellroy is kind enough to include an ink refill with every wallet and I still have the refill from 2014. That's not to delegitimize the previous point; the kind of things I write are forms and other short memos. I wouldn't use the pen to write a novel. The new wallet looks to have a pen that Bellroy have either white labelled or made themselves. I haven't yet written with it, but if it is at least as good as the Walkie it replaced, things should be fine. 3. Added Security The new wallet takes the split billfold and adds a flap that conveniently hides away the back section from prying eyes. In theory this seems like a useful feature. In practice, the flap is not quite long enough to allow for more than one or two bills without the cavity being visible when the wallet is opened. The new wallet also has RFID shielding which I don't recall being a feature of the old wallet. It sounds like a useful feature now that at least one of my credit cards has a contactless payment feature. 4. Leather It's a thin wallet so you should expect the leather to be thin as well. I got 6 years out of the first wallet and I'm not a guy who is easy on wallets. It has been in my pocket on rooftops doing solar installations, in machine shops, and on every kind of seat imaginable. My old wallet has been fully submerged in water more than once. With all that punishment, it outlasted the warranty by two times. None of the stitching has failed and the only real damage is two small holes in the outer leatherwork. If you are a business traveler, this should go out of style before it is rendered unusable from wear. In short, this is a great wallet for everyday use. I approve to the extent that I didn't look for a new choice when my old one wore out.
