Cornflower Farms— California Native and Drought-tolerant Plants
Phone: 916.689.1015
Map Link: 9811 Sheldon Rd Elk Grove, CA 95624, US
Hours: OPEN to the public on second Saturdays or by appointment. (Call or check website for calendar)
Description: Wholesale native plant nursery
Garden Watchdog Rating: N/A
Angela's Opinion: Great place to find native and drought-tolerant plants that'll do well in our area without tons of irrigation. That's not to say they don't sell some thirsty plants... they do because they contract-grow for different parts of the state. Still, if you're looking for that hard-to-find drought-tolerant plant, Cornflower is a great resource. Call ahead ANY TIME OF YEAR if you're looking for something super specific. If what you need is in stock, you can schedule an appointment to pick it up. 2nd Saturdays are a fun way to discover something new and to see more natives than most retail nurseries carry.

Remember, Fall is the best time for planting natives!
