Video - The flowers of Big Bear, California

Big Bear is a great resort town for all seasons. Located an hour north of Los Angeles, we love to come up to Big Bear in the summer for kayaking, hiking and this year ziplining. I also love to walk around and see what flowers are growing on the streets. Here are 3 of my favorites. Fernleaf Yarrow (Achillea filipendulina), a great butterfly plant. that grows in a wide variety of conditions. Shasta Daisies (Leucanthemum x superbum) are perennials that wait for the snow to melt before bursting out of the ground. They are hardy in zones 5-9. Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) flourishes at higher elevations where the soil is better draining than lower California. Video by Doug Kalal, Great Gardens Landscape Design
