Description

Plant our Backyard Birding Wildflower Seed Mix to invite birds and other flying friends to your garden or meadow. This mix includes several native wildflowers, which are ideal for habitat creation. We recommend leaving wildflowers standing over the winter months, for two important reasons. First, it will provide a habitat for overwintering insects, an essential food source for birds and their young. Second, dried wildflower seed heads provide a food source for birds when insects are less available. Designed by The Seed Man, Mike Lizotte, exclusively for American Meadows.

 

 

What's in this Mix

We've included 9 annual wildflowers that will bloom in the first year, 2 biennials to add color in the second season, and 8 perennial wildflowers that will start blooming in the second or third season and return year after year.
