American Meadows Mexican Shellflower Mix

Yes, you can. While they are only hardy in zones 8-10, they are easily grown as annuals in cooler climates. Simply plant them in the spring after the danger of frost has passed and enjoy them for the season.

Mexican Shellflowers require full sun to thrive. This means they need at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to produce those signature spotted blooms.

Absolutely. Their compact mature height of 12-18 inches makes them an excellent choice for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage, as these bulbs prefer well-drained, loamy, or sandy soil.

These flowers are naturally resistant to both deer and rabbits. They are a great, worry-free option if you have frequent visitors in your garden that usually snack on your plants.

For the best results, plant the bulbs 2-3 inches deep. Space them at a density of about 9 bulbs per square foot to ensure they have enough room to grow while still creating a lush, full look.

You can look forward to blooms appearing in mid to late summer. They provide a vibrant, exotic pop of color just as many other spring-planted flowers are beginning to fade.
