November Natives

November is prime California native planting season. If you're looking for inspiration, here are a few of our favorites from around the nursery!

Erigeron glaucus 'Wayne Roderick' Seaside Daisy Attracts native bees and butterflies Cheerful lavender flowers with yellow centers on 2" stems Long-blooming (spring through fall) Heat- and cold-tolerant Lovely border, groundcover or accent Coastal by nature; grows well inland

Galvezia speciosa Island Snapdragon Stunning deep red flowers Native to Channel Islands of California Heat- and cold-tolerant (moreso with age; when they are young they can be a little tender) Attracts hummingbirds and insects Flowers year-round Easy to grow, fast-growing Can reach 6 ft tall by 8 ft wide

Eriophyllum staechadifolium Seaside Woolly Sunflower Native perennial herb (sunflower family) Attracts pollinators; host plant to several moths and butterflies Cold tolerant to 25 degrees F Features many clusters of tiny yellow flowers Does especially well in coastal areas Can grow 1-3 ft tall and wide

CWN Behind the Scenes

This month, there was an event at the nursery by "Growing with Brenda"! Her workshop participants created pumpkin and succulents centerpieces. Brenda will be offering similar seasonal workshops in December that are open to the public. Please let us know what you might be interested in creating!
