🏵️ Wildflower Growing Instructions 🏵️

Growing Non-GMO Southwest Wildflower Mix Flower Seeds

Directly sow this flower mix in the fall. Scatter the seeds evenly over the prepared (exposed and weed-free) soil. If your area experiences harsh winters, we recommend a very early spring sowing. The seeds should get water by rain or hose once planted. If rain is unpredictable in your area, supplement them with irrigated water. The plants should germinate in 2-3 weeks. It is best if they have around four weeks before any hard frosts to establish their roots. They will go dormant through the winter and continue growing in the spring.

One or two heavy waterings (by rain or hose) in the spring can help the flowers to come up stronger. If you provide supplemental water, gradually reduce the amount given until they only receive rainwater. Fertilization is not needed. After year two, you may choose to begin cutting or mowing down the wildflowers in the fall after blooming; this is not necessary but can help to control the area. Rake up dead plant matter the following spring.

Southwest Wildflower Mix in the Flower Garden

These gorgeous and versatile flowers are perfect for an area that you don’t want to tend very often but want to look beautiful. Because they are native to many southwest climates, they can be attractive to deer and rabbits. In most situations, these hardy flowers withstand this grazing very well.

Landscape Use of Southwest Wildflower Mix

Use these flowers anywhere! They can be a tall border, a mass planting, or used to soften harsh fence lines. When in full bloom, the grouping appears fluffy and colorful. Fill an entire field, line your driveway, or use it as a background planting for a flower bed. The options are endless. Because these flowers are eaten by deer, they can also divert the munching away from other plants like vegetables. They also attract a wide variety of pollinators native to the Southwest US, beneficial to all gardens and landscapes.

Tips From Our Gardeners

"If you are worried that your flowers aren’t doing well, I recommend giving them extra water (if it hasn’t rained in a while) and light fertilization. If you do these things and they are growing in full sun, they will have the best chance you can give them!"
