USDA Hardiness Planting Zones

To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Details

It's vital that we value and protect our soil, a precious resource that is easily damaged, and that's why we created our Southwest Native Revegetation Seed Collection. Planting wildflowers will quickly cover bare soil to prevent compaction, invasion by weeds, erosion and loss of topsoil, and damage to soil life from unrelenting sun and heat. The five specially selected native plants in this collection grow well in hot, dry conditions, and will help to support the native bees, butterflies, and beneficial bugs. Lacy Phacelia is a legume that’s often used as a flowering cover crop, easily suppressing weeds and enriching soil. Fast-growing annuals provide color in the first season, and can self-sow for blooms in subsequent years. Deep-rooted perennials help stabilize soil and return year after year. Our High Country Gardens seed mixes contain 100% seed with no fillers, and all seeds are non-GMO, neonicotinoid-free, and guaranteed to grow.

What’s in this collection?

1 ounce each of the following 5 seeds (5 ounces total):

Lacy Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia)
Palmer's Penstemon (Penstemon palmerii)

Planting Guides

Step-by-Step Wildflower Seed Planting Instructions

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
