Deer Resistant Wildflower Seed Mix – 1/4 Pound, Mixed

DESCRIPTION: A favorite among gardeners for an obvious reason! It contains 13 of the most beloved wildflowers including poppy, blanketflower, lupine, plus many others. Suitable for all regions of North America, this mix is hard working and will produce a gorgeous display of blooms without needing much attention or time. It contains 20% annual, 65% perennial and 15% biennial species. Once you’ve prepared your soil and sowed the seed, Mother Nature will guide the way! RESULTS: 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 (but not deer). The Deer Resistant Wildflower Mix is suitable for all USDA Zones and can be successfully planted at various times throughout the growing season. PLANTING: Spring is the most conventional time to sow, but successful results can be achieved by planting in summer in cooler zones. Many gardeners plant perennial wildflowers in the fall to get a jump on spring blooms. Before you begin, make sure your area is in full sun. Minimal tree coverage and little obstruction from other structures like a home or garage is best. Prep the soil by removing unwanted grass and growth, then loosen it to create the best environment. PLANTING: Now sow! Mix one part seed to five parts sand and distribute the mixture evenly over the soil. Finish up by lightly compressing seeds about ¼ to ½ inch to protect them. Sit back and enjoy! Because the Deer Resistant Wildflower Seed Mix contains both annuals and perennials, you’ll get to see blooms in your first season of planting. The annuals will pop, then the perennials will flourish the following season. This is normal! WHAT TO EXPECT: Perennial varieties usually show limited germination in their first season after planting, but will bloom to their full potential in the following growing 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: The Deer Resistant Wildflower Mix was specially created to include a wide range of varieties that will not only deter deer, but will bloom at slightly different times. 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.
