I live in the San Gabriel Valley and there is a botanical garden in Claremont and Huntington Gardens in Sierra Madre. Both have wonderful examples of native plants that are beautiful and easy to maintain.

Some annual plants to put in now include primroses, Iceland poppies, cinerarias, hollyhock, snap dragon, calendula, foxgloves, stock, pansies, and sweet alyssum. Now is also the time to plant wildflowers from seeds and to plant bulbs such as , daffodils, narcissus and all the wonderful South African bulbs that will come back year after year in our gardens. (You can also plant hyacinths, tulips, and Dutch crocus but these need pre-chilling in the refrigerator for 6 weeks prior to planting.) The sooner you get things into the ground and the more regularly you feed them—wildflowershowever don’t need fertilizer—the more likely you will be to have blooms prior to the holidays. If you manage that they will bloom all winter into spring, with April being the height of bloom, but the spring garden will continue in full bloom through May.
Try pansies and winter jasmine
