Description

(10-18" tall) The brilliant orange, nectar-rich blooms of Siberian Wallflower provide an important spring food source for butterflies and bees. Relatively compact, it grows just 10-18” tall, so it’s especially at home in a massed planting or flower border where it won’t be overwhelmed by taller plants. Pair it with other boldly colored flowers in shades of blue, violet, red — even pink! Impressively adaptable and easy to care for, Siberian Wallflower thrives in most soil types, from sandy to loam to clay. The plant prefers full sun, though it appreciates afternoon shade in hot, dry climates. Enjoy the fragrant blooms in bouquets, but be sure to leave some flowers to mature and form seedpods. The seeds will self-sow to create a naturalized planting that will multiply and spread, heralding spring for you (and the pollinators) year after year.


Planting & Care

Step-by-Step Wildflower Seed Planting Instructions

  1. Check for your last frost date and plant after this has passed. Choose a
    spot on your property that gets 6 or more hours of direct sun a day unless you are planting seeds for shade.
  2. Prepare your soil by clearing the area of all existing growth. Simply dig up everything that is growing, turn the soil and rake the area flat. If this is an area that has never before been gardened, you may need to till the area up to remove growth.
  3. Mix the seeds with sand* for better visibility and scatter the seeds directly on top of the soil. If you are sowing a larger area, we recommend using a seed spreader; if not, you can sow by hand.
  4. We recommend lightly compressing the seeds into the soil, making sure not to bury them. You can either walk on them, use a board or if you are sowing a larger area, rent a seed roller.
  5. Water so that the soil is moist, not soaking wet, until the seedlings are about 4-6" tall. After that, the seedlings will survive on natural rains. If you are experiencing very dry weather, we recommend watering occasionally.

Naturalizing, long-lasting blooms

"Wallflower seeds spread in summer 2020 formed a wonderful carpet of orange in 2021 and again in 2022. The wildflowers naturalized, spreading along the sides of our mountain home (5000 ft elevation), despite marmots that eat almost everything, long dry summers (typically no rain July or August), and long snowy winters (typical last measurable snowfall mid-June and 1st snow early Oct). They were easy to grow, needing little care after sowing, and are one of the first flowers that begins to bloom (less than a month after the last snowfall of more than a few inches)."
