There are many advantages to landscaping with California native plants. They provide outstanding natural habitat and are usually drought tolerant; many are fire-resistant, deer resistant and in the right location, easy to grow. Imagine your front yard filled with the eye catching hues of Wooly Blue Curls and Scarlet Monkey Flowers. Bring in bees with Cleveland sage, Foothill Penstemon, and Scarlet Bugler. Or, try your hand at creating a fairy garden using Yellow Stonecrop, and Canyon Dudleya.
