Q: Which wildflowers are included in this mixture?
A: We're glad you asked ... :)
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?

Site Preparation:

Water daily until they are 4-6" tall, unless rains will provide ample water (such as in the spring or fall).
