3 Types Of Regional Mixes

These exclusive seed mixes have been customer favorites for over 35 years! They are designed with wildflowers that thrive in your area. Annuals will give you plenty of first-year color, and perennials will establish and return year after year.

Expert Tip: Annuals, Biennials, Perennials & How They Work Together
- Annuals have a one-year life cycle, meaning they must be reseeded each year. Biennials have a two-year lifecycle. Perennials live for many years, returning year after year from the same root system.
- Year 1: Annuals will bloom in the first season, helping to discourage weeds and giving you a burst of blooms in the first year while perennials establish their root systems.
- Year 2: Biennials bloom, and you'll start to see the first blooms of your perennials. You may see some annuals blooming if they successfully reseeded from the year before.
- Year 3 and beyond: You will see colorful perennial wildflowers bloom.
Expert Tip: How To Combine Regional Mixes
- If you have a large area to fill, you can combine types of regional wildflower seed mixes to take advantage of an even wider variety of species in your meadow.
- Our classic Regional Wildflower seed mixes have the highest ratio of annuals in the mix, which means it has the most first-year color. You can use the classic mix to add a boost of first-year color when planting a Native or Pollinator Regional Wildflower Seed Mix.

Notes On Native Wildflowers
More and more people are becoming passionate about growing native wildflowers and native plants to support wildlife habitat in their yards. Resilient native plants are beautiful, adaptable, and connected to your local wild landscape.
Is growing native wildflowers a goal for you? If so, a great place to start is with our exclusive Native Regional Wildflower Seed Mixes, an easy, affordable way to get started growing a mix of native wildflowers.
Want to learn more about growing native plants? See our helpful guide, including a list of native plants in your state here: All About Native Plants
Remember, you can use our Plant Advantages "Native" filter to find wildflowers & plants native to North America when shopping anywhere on our site.
Wildflowers that are introduced, or not native, to the United States, can also offer a host of benefits for your yard. It is important to note that introduced does not mean invasive or harmful. There are many well-behaved introduced plants that are beloved in the United States, including garden plants, food plants, and house plants. Studies show that growing abundant and diverse flowers that provide plenty of nectar and pollen sources for pollinators will increase pollinator population and diversity in your area.
Know before you grow - it's always a good idea to learn about what wildflowers are native to your area, and what plants may be invasive in your region.
