Sowing wildflower seeds is a straightforward process. Mix the seeds with sand to increase visibility during sowing, then broadcast the seed-and-sand blend over the desired area. Evenly rake and lightly tamp the seeds into the soil. Germination for the 23 varieties occurs between 10-30 days. Wildflower seeds sown in the fall will remain dormant until spring.

Wildflower seeds, including native plants, perennials, and annuals, rely on the cycle of cold to warm weather to trigger germination. Their freshly dropped seeds stay dormant until experiencing the cold of winter, followed by the increased humidity and warmth of spring. This process, known as stratification, can be mimicked to take advantage of the natural germination triggers. By planting wildflower and perennial seeds now, you can benefit from this stratification process for good germination and early flowering.

Our wildflower seed mix contains a blend of 23 varieties, with a germination rate of 85% (tested on 3/1/2024). Included are seeds for Butterfly Milkweed, Chinese Forget-Me-Not, Columbine, Snapdragon, Aster, Cosmos, Larkspur, Foxglove, Bird's Eye, Prairie Clover, Alyssum, Four O'Clock, Lemon Mint, Maltese Cross, Jasmine, Poppy, Penstemon, Sage, Catchfly, Marigold, Nasturtium, Zinnia, and Treemallow. These wildflowers range from 24-48 inches tall and 12-15 inches wide, making them ideal for creating a butterfly garden or attracting beneficial insects and pollinators.

Wildflowers are some of the easiest, hardiest, and fastest-growing flowers for gardeners. Avoid chemical sprays, as they can be harmful to bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and ladybugs. Instead, take advantage of the natural stratification process by planting your wildflower seeds in the fall and winter for optimal germination and early blooms.
