Our Perennial Wildflower Mix contains 15 species of wildflower seeds, totaling approximately 1000+ seeds. This mix includes 2 grams of seeds of all different sizes, ensuring a diverse range of plants. We guarantee that our product is 100% seed with no fillers added. If kept dry and in a dark area, these seeds can last for years.

We meticulously count the seeds three times and weigh them each time to ensure accuracy. When measuring for your orders, we always add extra seeds. Due to the variety of sizes in this mix, customers will receive varying amounts of seeds, but you should always get 1000+ seeds.

Our All Perennial Mix Wildflower Seeds blend features California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), Lance-Leaved Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata), Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), Ox-Eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), Blue Flax (Linum lewisii), Purple Cone Flower (Echinacea purpurea), Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus), Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), and Blanket Flower (Gaillardia spp.). These wildflowers offer an abundance of blooms in various shapes and colors, from conical and pink to daisy-like and bright orange, making them suitable for a range of landscape and garden styles. They are originally native to different regions. You can also use these flowers in cut bouquets. Simply snip the stems at the base when they are in full bloom or just before, and they will last in water for 1-2 weeks. For easy maintenance, mow over the wildflower patch at the end of the flowering season to a height of about 6 inches.

**Planting Instructions for All Perennial Mix Wildflowers** The All Perennial Mix does not require cold stratification to germinate, but the best times to plant are early spring or late summer. For most temperate regions of the United States, spring planting is best done within a month after the final winter frost. Late summer or early fall planting is recommended for the All Perennial Mix, once temperatures have cooled but before the first expected frost. In areas with little to no frost (e.g., Florida, Texas, California), wildflowers can be planted year-round except in the dead of summer. In regions with hard frosts (e.g., Indiana, New York, Minnesota), wildflowers should be planted in spring, summer, and fall. Most wildflower mixes, unless otherwise noted, need at least 6 hours of sun daily for optimal growth. **Preparing the Soil:** Remove all vegetation from the area where wildflower seeds will be sown. Till and rake the soil flat. If the soil is hard clay with poor drainage, add compost to improve drainage. **Planting Wildflowers:** If the wildflower mix does not already contain filler, add sand to aid in spreading the seeds evenly. Scatter the seeds directly on top of the soil. For larger areas, use a seed spreader; for smaller areas, sow by hand. Lightly compress the seeds into the soil, ensuring they are not buried but are secure against rain and wind. You can compress them by walking on them, using a board, or renting a seed roller for larger areas. **Growing Wildflowers:** Keep the soil moist until the seedlings are 4-6 inches tall. Afterward, the seedlings will survive on natural rains, supplemented by occasional watering during dry spells. Do not let the soil dry out while the seedlings are establishing, as this can kill the plants. **Caring for Wildflowers:** Once a year, in late fall after the flowers have bloomed and dropped their seeds, mow over the wildflower meadow using a weed trimmer or mower set to a tall setting. This encourages strong growth in the spring without competition from dead foliage. **Cold Stratifying:** Some seeds require a cold stratification process before germination. You can achieve this by either planting them in the fall and letting them go through a winter (they will sprout the following year but not flower until the second year), or by creating a "false winter" in your refrigerator for at least 2.5 months before planting in the spring.
