Seed Mix Contents
Package of Perennial Wildflower Seeds 99% Pure Live Seed
Grow a garden filled with an array of colourful perennial wildflowers with our specialty Perennial Wildflower Mixture. This specialty blend contains 25 of our most popular selling perennial flowers. Favourites such as California Poppy, Corn Flower, Farewell to Spring & Mexican Marigold are included. The Perennial Wildflower Mixture will produce flowers in practically every colour of the rainbow, from red, orange, yellow, blue and more. When fully grown, the plants range in height from 20 centimeters, up to 105 centimeters tall. The average growth for most of the plants is around 15 centimeters to 150 centimeters tall.
Perennial wildflowers will establish a deep root system in its initial year of growth. The plants will then wilt on the surface with the first killing frost, regrowing the following Spring season to display hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeous & colorful flowers, all summer long. Many wildflowers will also readily self seed, creating new plants the following year as well. Because of the colorful nature of this mixture, hummingbirds, bumblebees, honeybees and butterflies will all be attracted to the garden.
Purchase Fields Flowers Annual Seeds
Start with purchasing our fresh mix of Perennial flower seed. The mixture is pure flower seed and contains no filler matter.
Sow In Black Dirt
Always use a nutrient rich black dirt to give the seeds a boost in growth. DO NOT sow your seed in mulch, sandy soils, clay based soils, or rocky soils directly.
Water Daily
Water the seeds and seedlings daily with a light water setting so that the soil doesn’t dry out. Continue to water the small plants daily under the 3 first weeks.
Watch Them Grow
The seeds will take at least 1 – 2 weeks to sprout. After they start to grow, the plants will later flower in the second year. So be patient!
Attracts Butterflies
The wildflowers within this mixture will attract all sorts of native butterflies to the garden. It will also attract beneficial pollinators such as bumblebees and honeybees too.
A few reminders in response to some of the reviews.
- This seed mixture DOES contain approximately 2500+ seeds. Most are tiny seeds. Each tiny seed has the potential to grow into a full size plant that spreads at least 6 inches wide.
- This mixture of seed is obtained from one of the top seed producers in the world. All seeds are fresh and DO grow if you plant them as instructed. Intended for the current and the following growing seasons.
- Surface sowing these seeds to the top of a fresh layer of black dirt is best and will improve your growing results. Mist them daily so that the soil is moist and provide an area of full sunlight.
- IF you sow these seeds in mulch, sandy soils, clay based soils, rocky soils or any other soil aside from black dirt, you risk POOR RESULTS from your wildflower project.
*** PERENNIALS DO NOT OFTEN FLOWER IN THE FIRST GROWING SEASON. ***
What Soil Should I Use?
Rich Fluffy Black Dirt
If you can’t work your hands through it freely, then the soil will likely stunt growth and won’t lead to very great results.
Mulch
Do not plant seeds in mulch. Seeds need soil to grow. Mature plants can be surrounded by mulch, but seeds will not grow in it.
Sandy Soils
Sandy soils have virtually no nutrients. Your seeds will fail to germinate or their growth will be almost non-existent.
Hard Rocky Soil
Many Perennials need to establish deep roots to return the following year. Hard, rocky soils prevent your flowers from establishing deep roots.
ADVICE:
The emerging seedlings require adequate moisture during germination and early establishment so the soil should not be allowed to dry out during this time.
Care : The area must never be fertilized. Must be cut in approx. 10 cm height once a year after flowering. The clip must be removed.
