Q: Which states are these all annuals native to?

A: None. Because there are 23 different annual seeds in this variety, this entire mix isn't native to any state in particular. We recommend our Wildflower Seedles if you want to plant native wildflowers. These Awesome Annual wildflowers will grow in every state, and because they are annuals, you won't have to worry about them spreading invasive species beyond where you plant them. We recommend you verify the species planting regulations for any local, state, federal laws applicable to your location prior to purchase. They are fun and flower-ful (see what I did there?). 

Q: Do I really just throw them on the ground?

A: In short, yes.

The optimum planting time depends upon your climate and average rainfall. In areas with colder winters, spring or early summer seeding is best. Spring plantings should be done as soon as the planting area can be worked, but after the last frost. Early summer plantings should only be done if rainfall patterns are anticipated or supplemental irrigation is available. 

“Dormant” seeding can be done in late fall when temperatures are low enough that the seeds will not germinate until weather warms the following spring. In mild climates, plant fall through spring, to take advantage of winter rainfall. A fall planting allows the plants to develop and provide an earlier display of flowers in the spring. If planted in spring, make certain rainfall is expected; otherwise, supplemental irrigation will need to be supplied.

Q: What are the growing instructions for these Awesome Annual Wildflowers?

A: These easy to grow annual wildflowers work well in planting Zones 1 to 10, and the quick growing plants will become a favorite for use in container gardens, planter beds, mixed beds, and rock gardens.

Sunlight: Half Sun / Half Shade, or Full Sun
Maturity: 35-50 days from germination
Height: 12-48 inches
Spacing: 4 to 8 inches apart in all directions

Site Preparation:

Clear the site of any weeds and/or competitive plants like grass. Work a shovelful or two of well-aged manure or organic compost into the soil prior to planting to improve soil conditions and help promote abundant blooms. Then plant awesome annuals seed balls half-way into the soil with spacing as indicated above. Water daily until they are 4-6" tall, unless rains will provide ample water (such as in the spring or fall).

Q: How many do I need for my space? 

A: Each of our seed balls contains between 20 and 35 wildflower seeds depending on the flower variety and their germination rate. Each Seedle can cover up to 1 square foot of space, but for a denser look of flower place 3-4 per square foot.

Q: How Big Are They? 

A: Each Seedle is the size of a nickel, some are slightly bigger.

Q: How many seeds are on each ball?

A: Each of our seed balls contains between 10 and 25 wildflower seeds depending on the flower variety and their germination rate.

I'm Sure They'll Be Awesome

Trying to decide whether to plant these in a couple of weeks or so or wait until early Spring. I shared some of them with a woman I work with and I think she's planting hers this fall. My Pacific NW wildflowers have been amazing! The cosmos are taller than I am! And the bees thank you :-)

Cant plant this time of year

You all sent me a package to make up for the last one that was a bust but it was too late in the year for me to plant them so I’m assuming I can keep them and plant them in the spring?

Yes! You sure can keep them until spring comes. ;) Happy Planting and thank you for growing wildflowers for the bees.
