Grow a Native Meadow in Your Yard
“Grow a Native Meadow in Your Yard” is the latest and 50th episode of “Late Bloomer!” Kaye shows the growth of her parkway native mini-meadow over the course of a year. Soil health, biodiversity (providing food for wildlife) and water conservation are three reasons to create a meadow in your urban garden. And the best reason, if you plan it right, is you get to look at gorgeous flowers for most of the year!
Flowers of Aster ‘Blue Haze’ which spreads by rhizome
Plants and seeds came from Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden’s non-profit retail nursery Grow Native Nursery in the the Veteran’s Garden in Westwood, Kaye’s one stop for California native plants.
Clarkia ‘Farewell to Spring’
Some plants propagate by rhizome, some drop seeds. Native plants have a natural cycle, and some are annuals and some are perennials.
California Poppy
