Nevada Wildflower Mix

Description

Nevada Wildflower Mix

This is a colorful mixture of annuals, perennials, native, and introduced wildflowers known to grow well in Nevada.  The annuals will bloom in the first year as the perennials become established.  Over-seeding with a mixture of all annuals in the following years will continue the flush of color that the annuals provide.

In temperate climates, plant the Nevada Wildflower Mix in the fall when the soil has cooled and there is more moisture. In northern areas, 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 – 1/4th inch. If irrigation is possible, soak the area once and keep moist until germination. In dry climates or in drought, up to 1/2 inch of irrigation per week may be required after germination until plants become well established.
