California native plants are the ultimate survivors, thriving in tough conditions with scorching heat and unpredictable rain.

Shake off those old ideas about desert plants. They don't have to be tough and brown all the time! When we give them some love - planting these plants in good soil alongside their local pals - something magical happens. These resilient plants burst into vibrant life, turning into a stunning oasis of color.

Most California native plants have long-term strategies for survival and a lifetime of 100+ years is common (Creosote, for instance, lives 15,000 years). But they're not just tough; they're also stunningly beautiful. Each one is like a work of art, with unique colors and shapes that have evolved over generations to help them survive.
