The wildflowers in this blend are native to the plains of south-central Canada and the northern United States. They have been specially selected for the Southern Prairies Wildflower Blend. These North American native species thrive in landscapes with cold winters and hot summers, and they once occurred in abundance, mixed with a host of drought tolerant wild grasses. From the bright yellow of Partridge Peas to the intense fiery reds of Indian Blanket, punctuated by the vivid purple of Prairie Aster, this blend looks spectacular in its native landscape, but also in exposed areas on the coast. None of the components are invasive, and all are approved for planting in home gardens. Recommended seeding rate: 225g per 1,000 square feet. We recommend planting in early spring when the ground is still cool and wet.

| Starting |
Site Selection: If there are already no plants (including weeds) growing in the planting site, there may be a problem with the soil. Possible issues may be soil fertility, lack of drainage, or the need for soil amendments to improve texture. In such spots (eg, beneath a cedar tree), few plants will thrive, including wildflowers. |
| Growing |
Keep the seeded area as evenly moist as possible to help the seeds germinate and the young seedlings become established. Weeds need to be kept under control. Once they are growing, most mixes will not require additional water except in long periods of hot, dry weather. All of our mixes should re-grow for several years, but will eventually benefit from re-seeding. In late summer, many of the components will produce seed heads that can be harvested and replanted the following spring. |
