California Bluebells

California bluebells is a popular wildflower with cobalt-blue flowers on short plants. It blooms quickly from an early spring sowing, and it self-sows nicely in the garden.

I like to scatter the seeds in bare spots between perennials. They will bloom, then disappear by midsummer as larger annuals and perennials start taking up more space.

Sowing California Bluebells Seeds

Sow California bluebells outdoors in early spring. Barely cover the seeds. Thin to 6” apart.
