Description
The Midwest wild flower mix has species that are chosen for their long bloom season, their display of color, and their hardiness to withstand climate extremes. This mix is 50% annuals and 50% perennials, and with normal conditions, the flowers can reach 24 - 30 inches in height. Prepare a site by removing weeds and loosening soil. Seed can be broadcast and raked into the soil, covering 2 - 3 times their thickness, or seed can be drilled to a maximum of ¼ inch. This Midwest mix should be planted in the spring once soil temperature warm to 55F. Seed should stay moist by either rainfall or irrigation until germination occurs. Each wildflower mixture we carry has a recommended minimum and maximum planting rate. The planting rates for some mixtures are adjusted higher due to the presence of small-seeded, nonaggressive species. In general however, the minimum planting rates are based on 60-70 seeds per square foot, which is usually sufficient to establish a good stand of wildflowers on prepared soil when adequate weed control can be maintained. The best time to plant in your area depends on the climate and rainfall patterns as well as the species you are planting. In cool climates, plant annuals, perennials or mixtures of annuals and perennials in spring, early summer or late fall. Fall plantings should be late enough so that seeds do not germinate until spring. Perennials can also be sown in early fall provided that there are at least 10-12 weeks of growing time before the plants go dormant for the winter. Important factors to consider when planting: 1) Does the site support plants now? If you have a site where nothing, including weeds, is growing, that site is unlikely to support wildflowers. 2) Will there be adequate moisture during germination and establishment? Can you supply supplemental water, if necessary? 3) What weed seeds are likely to be present in the soil? Will weeds spread to your site from adjacent areas? The Midwest wild flower mix has species that are chosen for their long bloom season, their display of color, and their hardiness to withstand climate extremes.
