Arizona Wildflower Mix

Arizona Wildflower Mix

This hardy mixture of annuals, perennials, native, and introduced wildflowers is designed for Arizona wildflower gardens below 7,500 feet.  Many will bloom the first year. The perennials will establish themselves in the first year and bloom in the following years.

In temperate climates, plant the Arizona 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 it 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.
