Blooming at low height, this mix forms a carpet that provides a wealth of color all season long. The low growing flowers are at a good height for children's viewing or for urban lawn replacement where the need may dictate a more manicured appearance. Most of the 25 species included in this mix are showy native species. This choice mixture contains both annuals and perennials--none of which grow taller than a few inches! Perfect for large scale meadow plantings, borders, or even as fill-in plantings throughout your garden. The flowers are very attractive to butterflies and they reseeds readily for year-after-year beauty. This mix of flowers will bloom from spring to fall, creating a different pattern as the season progresses. This mix of low growing flowers will do well in any good, well drained soil. They like to be in the sun for 8 hours a day. The flowers can be cultivated in about any region that does not suffer any extreme heat, and has average humidity and rain. Do not fertilize wildflowers unless the soil is extremely depleted of nutrients. Fertilizers encourage weed growth and lush foliage rather than flowers. If the soil needs improvement, we suggest adding organic matter such as weed-free grass clippings, well rotted compost or peat moss. The wild flowers need to be watered regularly during the summer to keep the plants at their peak. Like most flowers, this mix will do best in full sun, but it will perform in partial shade (at least 8 hours of sunlight per day preferred). To aid in natural reseeding and to keep a neat appearance, you can mow the flowers after they have gone to seed and lost their bloom. Mow them at a height of 4-6 inches-mowing below 3 inches could damage the perennial flowers.
