wildflower mixtures are facing stiff competition from new products, especially preseeded wildflower carpets. Gardeners can simply roll out these mulch mats over prepared sites, water the seeds and wait for them to grow.
Wildflowers are among the most versatile plants available to the home gardener, and homeowners discouraged by previous failures are missing out.
