Sierra-Nevada Wildflower Mix

Description

Sierra-Nevada Wildflower Mix

This is a mixture of annuals, perennials, and native and introduced wildflower species that are known to grow well in the higher elevations and dry summers of the Sierra Nevada region of California and Nevada. The annuals will bloom the first year and the perennials will become established the first year and bloom in subsequent years. Overseeding with a mixture of all annual wildflower species each year will help to re-establish the seasonal flush of color until the perennials are fully established.

Species:
Blue Columbine (Aquilegia caerulea), McKana Giants Columbine (Aquilegia ‘McKana Giant’), Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum maximum), Perennial Lupine (Lupinus perennis), Aspen Daisy (Erigeron speciosa), Larkspur (Consolida ajacis), Plains Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria), Lance-leaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata), Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), Blue Flax (Linum perenne),  California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Shirley Poppy (Papaver rhoeas), California Bluebells (Phacelia campanularia), Rocky Mountain Penstemon (Penstemon strictus), Sweet William Pinks (Dianthus barbatus)     12.25
