Now Sowing: Butterfly Mix
Theodore Payne Foundation kindly asks for your help
in protecting the delicate balance of our native ecosystems by not sowing seeds in nature preserves, open spaces, wilderness, or post-burn areas. Our seed offerings are intended to be sown in cultivated and garden settings.
Meet California's New State Shrub
Our plant of the month is bigberry manzanita (Arctostaphylos glauca) which officially has been recognized as California's state shrub!
We love this manzanita for its large, pale bluish-green foliage and gorgeous red bark. In the winter, it exhibits clusters of bell-shaped white flowers, followed by large berries.
This local native makes a beautiful specimen, and is tough as nails—especially on rocky slopes. Add one to your garden for a statement plant!
Get yours, and learn more about its characteristics and care.
