Planting Instructions
Short Annual Wild Flower Mix - Sow wildflower seeds to create this gorgeous look in your garden! Annual varieties in this mix have a spreading or mounding growth form which creates an even, 12 inch tall carpet of brilliant flowers in sunny hues. Mix includes cultivars such as Rocket Candytuft 'Empress', Calendula 'Gypsy Festival', Sweet Alyssum 'Royal Carpet' and Classic Zinnia. This wildflower seed mix works well as an annual ground cover to create a beautiful flower bed.
Seeding Rate: 5 - 10 pounds per acre or 3/4 - 1 1/4 pounds per 5,000 square feet.
Why such a broad range on the seeding rate? Wildflower seed planting applications vary tremendously from the back yard flower bed to the 5 acre meadow. Various seeding rates are needed depending on the type of application you are considering. For your specific application use this for your guideline:
- For a meadow look with scattered flowers using the lower end of the seeding rate
- For an average display with good coverage use the middle range of the seeding rate
- For a lush stand with almost solid flowers choose the upper end of the seeding rate
