Description
Most wildflowers native to the northeast are perennials. And the mixture includes some of the finest from New England Aster to Red Columbine to Butterfly Weed and Joe Pye Weed, all treasured species. This makes this mixture the perfect blend for homeowners who are serious about having a sun-drenched all-native meadow and are willing to invest not only the cost of this necessarily expensive mix, but also the time it will take until full bloom. But for the patient, serious meadow gardener, this mixture creates a particularly permanent and rewarding selection of hardy perennials that will increase over the years. This premium mix includes 18 native wildflowers: 1 annual for first-year color, plus 17 perennials & biennials for second and successive years' bloom.

      Comments about American Meadows Native Northeast Wildflower Seed Mix:

      It took a couple of months for the first flowers to appear. I sowed the same day that I tilled but still had to weed every few days to keep down the competition. Now, three months from sowing, I have a healthy patch of rudbeckia with a smattering of a few other species. I'm hoping I'll have more variety next year. I like the fact that the brown-eyed susan is doing so well.

      Comments about American Meadows Native Northeast Wildflower Seed Mix:

      We have several acres in upper Bucks County in southeastern PA, not far from the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers. The garden zone is 6B, and we needed wildflower seed for a large area around a drainage basin. Our intent is to decrease the amount of lawn to be mowed, and to give habitat back to butterflies and birds.

          The seeds came up last year fine, and I had blossoms. I have a lot come up this year, one variety in particular, but no blooms because its early yet. I'll know more in another few weeks.

              Comments about American Meadows Native Northeast Wildflower Seed Mix:

              I ordered these seeds for early winter planting. They've been in the ground getting their time of chilliness and moisture. As soon as the weather warms up, they should be popping their little leaves right out of the dirt! I can't wait to see my nasty dirty muddy bare yard transformed into a glorious meadow of all-native New England wildflowers!

                I have used this mix in a sunny, woodland border and it has turned out great. The mix offers native species which I try to plant whenever possible as I live next to a conservation area.
