Know before you buy
This composition ensures you get immediate color during the first season from the annuals, while the perennials establish themselves to return year after year. It provides a balanced, long-term habitat for pollinators.
These seeds need full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Planting them in a shaded area will likely result in poor germination and fewer blooms.
No, this is 100% pure seed. You are paying only for the wildflower seeds themselves, with no inert fillers or coatings included.
These should be direct-sown into your garden soil at a depth of about 1/2 inch. Since they are loose seeds, ensure you have a clear, weed-free patch of soil to give them the best chance to establish.
The mix is designed to provide blooms from summer through fall. Because it contains a variety of species, you will see different flowers peaking at different times within that window.
Once established, this mix is considered low maintenance. You will primarily need to provide moderate watering during dry spells to keep the plants healthy.
