HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in late fall or early spring, pressing Goldfields flower seeds into the surface and covering them with a thin layer of soil.

Growing: Seedlings may need watering until they become established; if they begin to crowd each other, thin or transplant the seedlings to a more healthy distance. Mature plants also make an excellent ground cover. This plant is very adaptable and tolerates marshy ground, sand, clay, and coastal salt marshes. Butterflies, bees, and small birds are attracted to these flowers.

Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.

Seed Saving: After flowering, the plant will produce seed heads containing small clusters of seed. Since sparrows and goldfinches love to eat the seed, harvest it promptly to avoid loss. Cut the mature Lasthenia Glabrata seed heads or shake them into a container to remove the seed material. Clean Goldfields flower seeds as well as possible, then store them in a cool, dry place.

DESCRIPTION

This California native carpets many valleys and coastal wetlands of the Golden State. The delicate yellow flower attracts butterflies and goldfinches and can be grown as an annual in most regions of the US.
This California native once carpeted the valleys and coastal wetlands of the Golden State, though it is not commonly found growing wild in recent years due to decreasing wetlands. The genus name "Lasthenia" comes from Greek mythology, being the name of a student of the philosopher Plato. The species name "glabrata" refers to the glabrous, or smooth and hairless, foliage.
