Planting: Plant in an area where it can receive full sunlight (between 6-8 hours per day) or only partial shade, and water before planting. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot. Plant the flower 1-2″ above ground soil level and backfill the hole with soil. Water deeply to settle, then add more soil if needed. Mulch 1-2″ deep around plant, avoiding the area closest to the stem. 2. Watering: Water regularly, at least weekly or more often especially in extreme heat or containers. 3. Fertilizing: Feed throughout the growing season - monthly if planted in gardens, and bi-monthly if planted in containers.

Specifically curated to attract honeybees and other beneficial pollinators, this mix of wildflowers will not only add a burst of color to your landscape but also support vital ecosystems. Perfect for gardeners who care about the environment, this seed mix is easy to grow and ideal for various garden settings. Product Description Our Honeybee Wildflower Seed Mix is a carefully selected blend of nectar-rich flowers that are known to attract honeybees, bumblebees, and other pollinators. This mix includes a diverse array of annuals and perennials, providing a continuous bloom from early spring to late fall. The vibrant colors and varying heights of these wildflowers will create a dynamic, layered look in your garden. Mix Composition This seed mix features a variety of 15+ wildflowers, including but not limited to: Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea): A hardy perennial with large, daisy-like flowers that bloom in shades of purple and pink. Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta): Bright yellow petals with a dark brown center, attracting bees throughout the summer. Lance-leaved Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata): A cheerful yellow perennial that thrives in various soil types. California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica): Brilliant orange flowers that bloom profusely and attract bees with their abundant pollen. Lavender Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum): Fragrant purple spikes that are a favorite among honeybees. Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa): Also known as bee balm, this plant produces clusters of tubular flowers that bees can't resist. Growing Tips Location: Choose a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Wildflowers thrive in well-draining soil but are adaptable to various soil types. Soil Preparation: Loosen the soil to a depth of about 6 inches and remove any weeds or debris. If your soil is poor, consider adding some organic compost to enrich it. Planting: For best results, sow the seeds in early spring or late fall. Broadcast the seeds evenly over the soil surface, and lightly rake them into the soil. Press the soil down gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which typically takes 7-21 days depending on the species. Once established, these wildflowers are drought-tolerant and require minimal watering. Maintenance: Allow the flowers to bloom and set seed naturally. Deadheading is optional but can extend the blooming period. At the end of the season, leave some flower heads intact to provide seeds for the next generation and food for birds during the winter. Uses Pollinator Gardens: Specifically designed to attract honeybees, this mix is perfect for creating a pollinator-friendly garden. Meadow Planting: Ideal for large, open areas where you want to establish a naturalized wildflower meadow.
