There are 16 species of perennial wild flowers in this mix that will provide years of color for a lovely naturalized landscape setting. The mix will grow 36 – 40 inches in height.
Mixture usually includes: Siberian Wallflower, Lance-leaved Coreopsis, Blue Flax, Purple Coneflower, Lupine, Gaillardia, Sweet William, Shasta Daisy, Dwarf Columbine, Lavender Hyssop, Dwarf Evening Primrose, Mexican Hat, Gloriosa Daisy, New England Aster, Black-eyed Susan, and English Daisy
Prepare a site by removing weeds and loosening soil. Seed can be broadcast and raked into the soil, covering 2 – 3 times their thickness, or seed can be drilled to a maximum of ¼ inch. Perennials can be planted in either the fall or the spring. For the first year, there will be more foliage growth than blooms.
Important factors to consider when planting: 1) Does the site support plants now? If you have a site where nothing, including weeds, is growing, that site is unlikely to support wildflowers. 2) Will there be adequate moisture during germination and establishment? Can you supply supplemental water, if necessary? 3) What weed seeds are likely to be present in the soil? Will weeds spread to your site from adjacent areas?
Sowing Rate: 1/4 LB Per 625 - 1,250 SF or 5 LBS 25,000 - 50,000 SF. Most wildflower seeds and mixtures have a purity of 95-99% and total viable seed percentages of between 70-95%. The total viable seed percent is the germination percent, plus the hard seed or dormant seed percent. Hard seeds have impermeable seed coats and cannot imbibe water during seed testing. Dormant seeds are viable seeds that have specific physical or physiological conditions that prevent the seed from germinating.
