Wildflowers - Do It This Spring.

Installing a wildflower field or meadow is best done in either Early Spring or Late Summer, when temperatures aren't so hot that seed dries out, water is plentiful from natural rains and the plants have a chance for a foothold for next year's growth and display.

Instead of using hay or straw, try ground-up Peat Moss as a mulch to hold-in moisture, feed the seed with nutrients and fool the birds (who see straw and a meal of seed just below the chaff). Simply crumble the peat by hand and broadcast, or lightly shovel it over the newly-sown seed. Straw must be raked-off or it'll rot the new shoots; Peat is absorbed, feeds and disappears quickly into the new plants' system.

Our Wildflower Mixes come in several formulations: Roadside, Meadow, Hummingbird & Butterfly and Cutting. We'll help you select the right one(s) for your specific application. Just ask.
