North American Native Wildflower Seed Mix

Growing Temp 60°F – 75°F
Days to Maturity 75-100 days

Ease of Cultivation and Environmental Benefits: The North American Native Wildflower Seed Mix is a thoughtfully curated blend of wildflower species indigenous to North America. It is easy to grow and highly adaptable to a variety of soils and climates, making it ideal for beginner gardeners, conservationists, and landscape designers alike. This mix produces a stunning display of color while supporting native pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds, contributing to ecological health and biodiversity.

Direct Sowing: For direct sowing, prepare the soil by removing weeds and lightly raking the surface. Sow the seeds in spring or fall when the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F. Distribute the seeds evenly and press them gently into the soil—do not bury them, as most wildflowers need light to germinate. Water the area with a fine mist and keep the soil moist until germination begins, typically within 10–21 days. No thinning is usually necessary, as these native species are meant to grow densely and naturally.

Early Sowing for Seedlings: Although direct sowing is preferred for wildflowers, seeds can be started indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix in shallow trays. Keep the trays in a well-lit, warm space (65–75°F). Lightly press the seeds into the surface without covering them. Once seedlings are 2–3 inches tall and hardened off, transplant them into prepared garden beds, maintaining a naturalistic spacing.

Harvesting and Maintenance: This wildflower mix is low maintenance and doesn’t require traditional harvesting. Enjoy blooms throughout the growing season. Allow some flowers to set seed in the late season to ensure self-sowing for future growth. Optional deadheading can prolong blooming. At the end of the season, mow or cut back the area to encourage reseeding and prepare the soil for the next cycle of vibrant native growth.
