Our Family of Single
Species.
Are you looking for one particular wildflower?
Do you want just one swath of color or one particular
height? You'll enjoy browsing through our selection
of 54 single species. Plus, with each single specie
listing, you'll learn design ideas and get tips
on companion plants. Within single species you
have a choice of:
Annuals.
These wildflowers live only one season. They
will germinate, develop, flower, go to seed and
die in the same year. Though they are shorter
lived than perennials and biennials, they typically
have the greatest show of color, which is why
they are so popular.
Perennials.
Wildflowers that live and bloom year after year
are called perennials. Most perennials have a
greater show of flowers after the first year of
growth. Some perennials may not even flower the
first year. The advantage of perennials is that
while their show of color may not be as great
as annuals, they do not need to be reseeded year
after year.
Biennials.
These wildflowers complete their life cycle in
two years. The first year is limited to vegetative
growth, the second year results in flowering and
then the plant dies.
Our
Family of Mixtures. Do you want a field of
wildflowers in assorted colors, heights and blooming
periods? Do you have a specific need, such as
part shade, low growing or a cutting garden? Then
you'll love our selection of 20 different mixtures!
All of our mixtures have been carefully developed
to satisfy either a specific need or climatic
condition.
Unlike
other mixtures that use a high percentage of inexpensive
seed or fillers, the mixtures we offer are carefully
chosen and balanced to ensure that all species
in the mix are evenly distributed and compatible.
Our mixes contain annuals, perennials and biennials.
One
of the interesting aspects of gardening with mixtures
is that your garden's look will naturally change
from year to year, depending on climate and geographic
conditions. In fact, there may be very little
show of one flower in one season and a profusion
of that specie the following year. Also, certain
perennials in mixtures do not bloom the first
year, as mentioned above.
