About New Mexico Wildflower Seed Mix
18 Varieties
From early spring through fall,
wildflowers provide a floral banquet to the diverse landscape of New Mexico.
Each year, the Land of Enchantment is aroused with bumblebees waking after
their winter nap and to black-chinned hummingbirds that buzz into New Mexico at
the end of their long migratory journey. These beneficial critters require food
sources and shelters to live, and our New Mexico Wildflower Seed Mix provides
18 different wildflower varieties to do just that. Spring flowers bloom early,
luring insects to pollinate them, and are replaced by sturdier, heat tolerant,
native gaillardia, plus a 50-50 mix of annuals and perennials that thrive in
this state.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
For most temperate regions of the
United States, spring planting is best carried out within a month or so after
the final frost of the winter season. The exact date will naturally vary based
on your region and the severity of the winter season. The important thing is to
not ‘jump the gun” and plant too early; if seeds are installed prior to a
late-season frost, they will be lost for the season and will need to be
re-seeded.
For areas that tend to have little to
no frost (Florida, Texas, California, etc..), wildflower can be planted all
year round except in the dead of summer. For areas that get a hard, killing
frost (Indiana, New York, Minnesota, etc..), wildflower should be planted in
spring, summer and fall. Most wildflower mixes unless otherwise noted need at
least 6 hours of sun to perform well. Full sun all day will give best results.
Preparing the Soil: Remove all
vegetation from the area where wildflower seed will be sowed. Remove any
plants, till the soil and rake the area flat. If soil is a hard, no draining
clay soil then compost should be added to help aid drainage.
Planting Wildflower: Sand should be
added to wildflower mixes that do not have filler already mixed in. Sand will
help spread seeds better without clumps and can be seen better to aid in
spreading. with sand for better visibilty and scatter the seeds directly on top
of the soil. If you are sowing a larger area, we recommend using a seed
spreader if not, you can sow by hand. After the seeds has been spread out they
should be lightly compressed into the soil, making sure not to bury them but
compressed enough so rain and wind will not move. You can either walk on them,
use a board or if you are sowing a larger area, rent a seed roller.
Growing Wildflower: It is important to
keep the soil moist until the seedlings are about 4-6″ tall. After that, the
seedlings will survive on natural rains. During dry weather the occasional
watering will help. Do not let soil dry out while they are seedlings are this
will kill the plants.
Caring for Wildflower: Once a year the
wildflower meadow should be mowed over. Wait until late fall when all the
flowers have bloomed and dropped their seeds. Then with a weed trimmer, or a
mower set on a tallest setting, mow over the entire meadow of wildflower. This
will encourage strong growth in the spring without competing with dead old
foliage.
