Description
Idaho Wildflower Mix
This Idaho Wildflower Mix is a stunning mixture of annuals, perennials, and native, and introduced wildflowers known to grow well in Idaho. Many will bloom the first year with the perennials becoming established and blooming the following years. The first year’s impact of annual bloom can be repeated by reseeding with an All Annuals Mix.
***This mix is also available in a ‘Livestock Safe’ version that excludes Lupines and Larkspurs. Please make a note in the comments section when ordering.
Plant in the early spring. Lightly rake in and cover with a thin layer of good soil or mulch to aid with water retention, no deeper than 1/8 – 1/4 inch. If irrigation is possible, soak the area once and keep it moist until germination. In dry climates or drought, up to 1/2 inch of irrigation per week may be required after germination until plants become well-established.
