WILDFLOWER Seed

All these mixtures are 100% pure, fresh flower seed with no fillers or grasses.

An excerp from Organic Gardening Magazine: An ordinary turfgrass lawn can be very demanding and—let's be honest—dull. But you can transform your lawn into an extraordinary display of interesting foliage and blooms that changes each week. Replace the sod with native wildflowers, grasses and ground covers, and you'll have a lawn that needs little more than annual mowing. And, once it's established, a lawn full of native plants almost never needs watering, which will make your lawn the best-looking in your neighborhood when drought turns all the other yards brown. Returning the grassy area of your yard to a meadow of indigenous species will also attract birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects to your yard.

 How much seed do you need?

In planning a wildflower meadow, you'll first need to choose your site and estimate the square footage of the area. Since most people are not that familiar with square footage calculations here's a little advice. To find the square footage of any square or rectangular area, simply multiply the length in feet times the width in feet. For example, a border 50 feet long and 10 ft. wide is 500 sq. ft. in area (50x10=500).

For a circle, the area is equal to "pi" r squared, or pi (3.1) times the radius of your circle, squared. If your circle is 20 ft. across, its radius is half of that or 10 ft. So to get the square footage of the circle: 3.1 x 10ft. x 10ft. = 310 sq. ft.

A common sense hint: As a size comparison, there are about 250 sq. ft. in the area of two parking spaces in a parking lot.

The amount of seed you should plant depends on the flower display you want. Most people usually want maximum bloom: (All mixtures are pure flower seed with no filler,no grasses.)
