Sow True Seed Flower Seed Mix

Many native wildflower species require a period of cold, moist conditions—known as cold stratification—to break dormancy and germinate successfully. Sowing in the fall or early spring mimics these natural cycles, which significantly increases your germination rate compared to summer planting.

For the best results, clear the area of existing weeds and grasses, then lightly rake the soil surface to create good seed-to-soil contact. Since these seeds are small, you only need to cover them with about 0.25 inches of soil or compost to protect them from birds and wind.

Yes, because this blend includes a mix of both annuals and perennials, you will see blooms during the first season. The annuals provide quick color, while the perennials will establish their root systems to return and bloom in subsequent years.

Once established, native wildflowers are generally low-maintenance because they are adapted to the local climate and soil. They thrive in full sun and typically require minimal supplemental watering or fertilization compared to non-native garden flowers.

This specific mix is curated for the unique climate and soil conditions of the Southeast. While some species may grow elsewhere, we recommend choosing a regional mix specific to your area to ensure the best support for local pollinators and the highest success rate for your plants.
