Know before you buy
This mix is specifically formulated for USDA Zones 7-10. While it is optimized for the Southeast, it will perform well in any region that falls within those hardiness zones and provides the required sunlight.
Because this mix includes annuals, you can expect first-year color shortly after germination. The perennials and biennials will establish themselves throughout the season and return in subsequent years.
No, this specific wildflower mix is not recommended for containers. It is designed for mass plantings and meadow-style gardening where the plants can naturalize in the ground.
These seeds are quite adaptable and thrive in average, loamy, sandy, or clay soils. For the best results, ensure the area is well-drained and clear of existing weeds or grass before sowing.
No, you do not need to replant annually. The mix contains a blend of perennials and biennials that will return on their own, while the annuals often reseed themselves to provide color year after year.
Yes, this mix is non-GMO and neonicotinoid-free. It is specifically curated to support local pollinators, including honeybees and the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly.
