Bring the Southwest to life. Our Southwest Wildflower Mix is designed for the region’s unique climate, producing a vibrant succession of blooms that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Seeds are Non-GMO, Neonicotinoid-Free, and 100% Pollinator-Safe.

With flowers that grow 14–60 inches tall, these resilient wildflowers flourish in full sun yet adapt well to partial shade. Once established, they’re drought-tolerant and low-maintenance—delivering season-long color from spring through fall. Suitable for USDA Zones 1–10, and especially well-suited for Arizona, Southern California, New Mexico, Southern Nevada, Oklahoma, and Western Texas.

Available in two convenient sizes:

  • 5 g Sprinkle Packet – Ideal for containers, window boxes, small borders, or tucking flowers into existing garden beds

  • 25 g Garden Packet – Perfect for larger garden beds, open landscapes, or along fence lines

Plant densely for a rich, full display, or space them out for a relaxed, meadow-inspired feel.

    1. Pick the right time to sow

      • Cold-winter zones: Sow in spring after frost or fall after a hard freeze.

      • Warm-winter zones: Winter-sow in January–February before rains.

      • Soil temp should be 55–70°F for germination.

    2. Prep your planting area
      Remove weeds and grasses, then lightly rake or loosen the top 1–2" of soil. Avoid deep tilling.

    3. Mix & spread seeds evenly
      Blend seeds with 4–8 parts dry sand for even coverage. Broadcast half east–west, half north–south. Avoid overseeding — wildflowers need space to thrive.

    4. Press seeds into soil (don’t cover!)
      Walk over small areas or press down with cardboard to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Wildflower seeds need light to germinate.

    5. Water & wait
      Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings reach 4–6" tall, then water weekly if rainfall is low.

      • Annuals bloom the first year.

      • Perennials return and bloom in years 2–3.
