Description

Our Native Dry Area Wildflower Seed Mix is a good solution for planting beautiful, resilient flowers in dry climates. We took the concept of our bestselling Dry Area Wildflower Seed Mix and created a similar mix featuring only native wildflowers. Native wildflowers are hardy and resilient, well adapted to the region’s specific growing conditions, and they’re essential for supporting wildlife. Like any seed, this drought-tolerant mix requires moisture to sprout, but needs little water once established. Annuals bloom in the first year, proving season-long color. Perennials will start to bloom in in the second or third year, and will return for years to come. Look for a colorful mix of blue, red, yellow, pink, and purple blooms that will attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. High Country Gardens seed mixes contain 100% seed with no fillers, and all seeds are non-GMO, neonicotinoid-free, and guaranteed to grow.

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.
