Different wildflower mixtures are designed to grow in different North American temperature zones: Canadian, northern U.S., southern U.S., southwestern U.S., tropical and Texarkana. Homeowners can also choose semi-shade tolerant mixtures for shady areas, and all annual and all perennial flowers. Each mix should contain several species to ensure good growing results.
Selecting the right mixture to meet your specific needs depends on several factors including soil type, average temperature range, shade and sunlight. Other important factors are:
Bloom and Height: Some annual species will bloom six to eight weeks after planting. Other flower species require various degrees of maturity before they can flower. Depending on the environment, the flowering plant’s height will range from 2 to 3'/2 feet.
Color Combination: Wildflowers grow in a wide range of colors. Many colorful favorites that grow nationwide include white baby’s breath, yellow lanceleaved coreopsis, black-eyed Susans and purple coneflowers. Choose flowers with colors that complement your house, especially if you plan on using the cuttings for indoor decoration.
