Why Wildflowers
Wildflowers can provide an excellent, low cost alternative in large-scale, high maintenance situations, as well as a satisfying change from traditional urban landscaping.

In reconstructing a natural setting, it is important to remember that we cannot do in one year that which took nature many lifetimes to create. The first year can be somewhat frustrating because that visual picture you have in your mind does not happen. The long-lasting perennials normally take two, and sometimes three years to bloom. While a few varieties bloom the first year, we recommend including annuals to guarantee color during the seeding year.

Weed competition is the number one cause of failure in prairiegrass and wildflower seedings. Taking weed-control measures before you seed will create a better environment for successful establishment.

Patience will be rewarded by the array of colorful wildflowers that will be enjoyed for many years. Even once established, areas planted to wildflowers will vary from year to year as environmental conditions cause some varieties to go dormant while others bloom actively — a testimony to the incredible durability of the native landscape!
