Wildflowers for Wildlife and You
Wildflowers need the seasonal cooling and warming of Winter and Spring to trigger their growth. Plant our open-pollinated wildflower seeds this month, and in the spring and summer you'll attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds -- depending on what you plant. We have wildflower mixes for micro-climates all over the U.S., mixes for butterflies or hummingbirds -- even wildflowers that are deer resistant. We have single varieties too, like that blue Bachelor Button (also called Cornflower). Watch our video and read our articles to get your wildflower imagination going. Then pick up some wildflower seeds and a book or two, and start creating beauty along with Mother Nature.
