Highly rewarding and wonderfully easy to grow, our California native Meadow Foam offers far more than simple charm. In spring, it releases a soft, sweet fragrance reminiscent of narcissus, drifting gently above a luminous carpet of bloom. The effect is both fresh and indulgent, bringing a sense of old-world romance to borders, paths, and containers alike.
Adaptable and unfussy about soil, Limnanthes douglasii quickly settles in and spreads into a glossy, low, weed-suppressing mat up to 30 inches across. Slender 10-inch stems rise above the foliage, each crowned with masses of perfectly formed, one-inch flowers—crisp white petals delicately brushed with lemon-yellow at their centers, creating a refined two-toned display that seems almost painted by hand.
Its bloom season is remarkably long, offering weeks of continuous color and fragrance, and its compact, flowing habit makes it superb as an edging plant or a graceful spiller in pots at least 10 inches across. Once established, it returns year after year by reliable self-sowing, weaving itself naturally into the garden and reappearing each spring with effortless beauty.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
