California Central Valley / Central Coast Annual Insectary Cover Crop Seed Mix

This seed mix has been formulated based on field trials and monitoring conducted by the Xerces Society and other conservation partners and is appropriate for planting in most parts of California’s Central Valley and Central Coast regions. It is comprised of annual native wildflowers and non-native forbs, brassicas and legumes and includes spring and early summer blooming species known to be attractive to pollinators and other beneficial insects. This seed mix is recommended for almond orchards or other situations where seasonal cover is desired. If managed properly, many species self-sow. The recommended seeding rate is approximately 34.25 PLS lbs/acre. Remember to order your seed by the Pure Live Seed (PLS) pound.  Please print or email this list to your native seed supplier to inquire about purchasing through that source.
