Shop Annual Wildflower Seeds

• Annuals: Complete their life cycle in one season, providing abundant blooms but requiring replanting each year to maintain color.
• Perennials: Return year after year from the same root system, offering long-term beauty.
• Why Choose Annuals? They’re great for quickly filling empty spaces, experimenting with new looks each year, and delivering season-long colors that many perennials can’t match.

Timing varies by climate:

• Cold Winters: Sow seeds in early spring (March to April) after the last frost, or in late fall (October to November) for early spring germination.
• Mild Winters: Plant in fall (October to December) for winter and spring blooms. The mild climate allows for year-round growth, but take care if planting in summer to avoid heat stress. Keep soil moist and tend to plants daily if you choose summer planting.
• Hot Climates: Plant in early spring (March to April) or fall (October to November) to avoid the peak heat and ensure successful germination.

• Self-Seeding Potential: Annuals complete their life cycle in one season, but many self-seed. Leave some flowers to go to seed, and you may see new plants next spring.
• Guaranteed Blooms: For reliable blooms, plan to replant your favorite annuals each year, as self-seeding isn’t always guaranteed.

Wildflowers are versatile and can complement various landscape styles:

• Border Gardens: Use as a colorful, informal border along walkways or fences.
• Meadow Patches: Convert a portion of your lawn into a mini wildflower meadow.
• Container Gardens: Perfect for balconies or patios—just make sure there’s good drainage.
• Filler Plants: Use wildflowers to fill gaps between perennials (we offer perennial seeds or perennial plants) or shrubs, adding bursts of color.

• First Year: Start with a mix of annuals for first-year color and perennials for long-term structure.
• Second Year: Add new annual seeds each year to introduce variety and fill any open spaces.
• Self-Seeding: Allow some plants to go to seed, letting them reseed naturally.
