Plant A Vibrant Meadow With The Best Seeds For Your Region

Wildflowers Make A Natural Difference

The first step in growing a successful wildflower meadow is to start with seeds that are suited to your region's climate and growing conditions. From beginners to experienced meadow gardeners alike, our customers tell us time and time again about their interest and excitement for growing wildflowers. Why are gardeners across the country growing meadows? You want to...

• Grow quick-blooming flowers with bold color
• Create a habitat buzzing with pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds 
• Restore ecosystems and sustain biodiversity with beautiful and beneficial plants

Inspired by your ideas, we carefully formulated our collection of Regional Wildflower Seed Mixes. We offer expertly crafted mixes for each region of the United States: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, West, and Pacific Northwest.  They all feature a mix of annual and perennial wildflowers – annuals for blooms in the first season, and perennials for flowers that bloom year after year. We design each mix with a variety of flowers that bloom from spring through fall, so you'll have color in your meadow all season. Season after season, these are some of our most popular mixes, and we never tire of the gorgeous meadow photos our customers send our way. 

For each region, we've formulated three mixes to reflect the most common reasons why gardeners want to plant wildflowers. 

• Regional Wildflower Seed Mixes are formulated for easy-to-grow color with popular local wildflowers 
• Regional Pollinator Wildflower Seed Mixes are formuated with nectar-rich flowers and host plants to support pollinators from spring through fall 
• Native Regional Wildflower Seed Mixes are formulated with hardy indigenous wildflower species that grow in harmony with the climate and wildlife of each region

Seed Tip: All of our mixes are 100% pure seed, with no fillers added — which you can't find in most commercial garden centers or box stores. Plus, our seeds are guaranteed to grow!

Seed Tip: All wildflower seed at American Meadows is non-GMO and neonicotinoid-free. There are no harmful chemicals in our seeds that will hurt bees, butterflies, or beneficial bugs, so you can plant a healthy habitat for pollinators.

Regional Wildflower Mixes: The Original Classic Formula

Today, our regional wildflower mixtures are our best mixes for quick, easy color. Many of these mixtures contain over 20 species with a large collection of annuals, which means they offer up explosive color in the first season. They also have plenty of perennial species to naturalize and bloom year after year. The varieties in each mixture grow well regionally. and we’ve designed these mixtures to flower from spring until fall so you’ll always enjoy something in bloom.

Regional Wildflower Mixes: Native Formulas

After formulating our classic regional mixtures, we heard from gardeners throughout the country that they wanted to bring their meadows back to their roots — meaning they wanted to restore their habitat to feature only native wildflowers to their region. So back in 2000, we created our native regional mixtures with over a dozen native wildflowers for each part of the country. These mixes are a great choice for gardeners looking to protect soil, conserve water, and restore habitat with colorful, low-maintenance flowers. These mixtures are also an easy and safe way to help and attract local pollinators and wildflowers.

Takeaway: Our Native Regional Wildflower Seed Mixes are for gardeners who want to plant wildflowers native to their area and enjoy color all season long, year after year. These mixes feature wildflower varieties naturally found in your geographic area and are the only mixtures you’ll find with such a large assortment of native seeds.
