DESCRIPTION: A must-have for gardeners in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana! Contains 25 easy-to-grow favorites perfect for the region including Red Corn Poppy, Coreopsis, African Daisy, Baby’s Breath & more. Contains 70% annual and 30% perennial wildflowers. It’s hard working and will produce gorgeous blooms without needing much attention or time. Once you prepare the soil and sow the seed, Mother Nature kicks in. WHAT TO EXPECT: You can expect to receive 100% Non-GMO seeds with zero fillers. Many of the varieties are pollinators and will attract birds, bees and butterflies to your landscape. PLANTING: Tailored to all states in the region, this mix can be successfully planted at various times throughout the growing season. Spring is the most conventional time to sow flower seed, but successful results can be achieved by planting in summer and fall. Make sure your dedicated area is in full sun. A general rule of thumb is “the more sun the better.” Minimal tree coverage and little obstruction from structures like a home or garage is best. PLANTING: Prep the soil by removing unwanted grass and growth, then loosen it to create the best environment. Now it’s time to sow! Mix one part seed to five parts sand and distribute the mixture evenly. Finish up by lightly compressing seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch to protect them. Sit back and enjoy! Because this mix contains both annuals and perennials, you’ll see blooms in your first season of planting. The annuals will pop, then the perennials will flourish the following season. WHAT TO EXPECT: Perennial varieties show limited germination in their first season after planting, but will bloom to their full potential in the following season. You may also see some weeds and grasses pop up—these are wildflowers, not roses, so don’t worry when you see some additional sprouts. You’ll care for your meadow by mowing it after the blooming and season is over. Remove any brush left on top, and get ready for your next batch of blooms. WHAT TO EXPECT: This mix was specially created to include a wide range of varieties that will ideally bloom at slightly different times. It gives you the widest range of color for the longest season possible. You’ll see bright yellow, orange, red, purple, white and nearly every color of the rainbow. Most wildflowers will bloom in spring and summer, while some varieties will bloom into the fall as well. You can expect thick coverage with amazing results. WHERE TO PLANT: The Southeast Wildflower Seed Mix will thrive in the following southeastern states: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
