Wildflower Landscaping Seed Mixes
Our Wildflower Meadow Garden see mixes are designed to provide a continually changing kaleidoscope of colorful wildflower from spring through fall. adapted to full sun and average to dry soils, these mixes are highly recommended for landscaping areas 4,000 square feet or less where a very showy flower display is desired. Each mix contains species of hardy native perennials with successive periods of bloom and attractive prairie grasses. these mixes are pure high quality seed–they contain no fillers and no invasive exotic species. Because perennial wilflowers can take several years to reach maturity and full blooming potential, we recommend using our meadow garden mixes in combination with our Annual Wildflower Garden Mix for fast temporary color and cover during establishment. Packaged with complete instructions for establishment and maintenance.
