Early Bloomers: California Native Plants Blooming in Winter -- Ep. 36

I look at the plants that bloom in January and February and some of the pollinators attracted to them which they help support. It's from our native plant garden in Fullerton in southern California. Hope you enjoy!

That is a fantastic video! I'm also from Fullerton and have been converting my yard from old-school grass landscape to a drought-tolerant garden bit by bit as I gain knowledge over time. This was very helpful. Thank you so much.

Glad you enjoyed it. It's worth it to make the change. Good luck with all future projects!

That's it!! I was wondering what this plant is that I have, it's Sweet Alyssum, Lobularia maritima (L.) Desv. Thanks for the clue! Unfortunately, this one seems to be listed as a SoCal invasive species. Now I'll have to think this plant over, again. Thanks all the same!!

You are right. I can't even remember whether it was my wife or I who planted the sweet alyssum about eight years ago in one spot by the southeast patio. It stayed put there for a few years but this year, especially with all the rain, it has started to migrate to the south and the east, and if I would let it, It would try to spread into our meadow at the front (north) of our property. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to remove but still, I can confirm its invasive properties.
