Top 10 Best Southwest Gardening

This wildflower seed mixture is specifically designed for areas which have special needs, the long, hot, dry summers or other similar conditions in the Southwest such as elevations below 7,000 feet in AZ, Southern CA, Southern NV and NM. This mix will do very well if planted in early to late spring. This wildflower mixture will also do well when planted as a dormant seeding in fall. The mix consists of annual and perennials. This mix should grow 36-48 inches tall.. Most wildflower seeds and mixtures have a purity of 95-99 and total viable seed percentages of between 70-95. The total viable seed percent is the germination percent, plus the hard seed or dormant seed percent. Hard seeds have impermeable seed coats and cannot imbibe water during seed testing. Dormant seeds are viable seeds that have specific physical or physiological conditions that prevent the seed from germinating at the time of seed testing.. Important factors to consider when planting 1 Does the site support plants now If you have a site where nothing, including weeds, is growing, that site is unlikely to support wildflowers. 2 Will there be adequate moisture during germination and establishment Can you supply supplemental water, if necessary 3 What weed seeds are likely to be present in the soil Will weeds spread to your site from adjacent areas. Each wildflower mixture we carry has a recommended minimum and maximum planting rate. The planting rates for some mixtures are adjusted higher due to the presence of small-seeded, nonaggressive species. In general however, the minimum planting rates are based on 60-70 seeds per square foot, which is usually sufficient to establish a good stand of wildflowers. Sow at 14 LB Per 500 - 1,000 SF or 5 LBS Per 10,000 - 20,000 SF. The best time to plant in your area depends on the climate and rainfall patterns as well as the species you are planting. In cool climates, plant annuals, perennials or mixtures of annuals and perennials in spring, early summer or late fall. Fall plantings should be late enough so that seeds do not germinate until spring. Perennials can also be sown in early fall provided that there are at least 10-12 weeks of growing time before the plants go dormant for the winter..
