The many species in this mix are some of the most attractive nectar-bearing flowers available, and have a long blooming period. This is a versatile blend that can be used in all kinds of applications. Try some in hanging baskets and window boxes. or scatter the seeds down the meridian on your street. The colour will lure the hummingbirds and the nectar will keep them coming back all season. Plus the flowers will return as early as March each year. Recommended rate of application: 115g per 1,000 square feet Attract hummingbirds Long blooming Contains perennials, annuals and biennials Full sun Approximately 20 different species Timing Direct sow early March to the end of May. Wildflower seeds can also be sown in the autumn, but you may lose a certain percentage of seeds to water, birds, and animals. To make the most of the annual species, direct sow in March. Starting Site Selection: If there are no plants (including weeds) growing in the site you want to plant, there may be a problem with the soil. Possible issues may be soil fertility, lack of drainage, or the need for soil amendments to improve texture. In such spots (eg, beneath a cedar tree), few plants will thrive, including wildflowers. Site Preparation: Remove as much existing vegetation as possible through pulling or tilling under in order to minimize competition. Loosen the soil by scraping, raking, or tilling. Wildflower blends will not usually take if planted into existing lawn because the thatch prevents their contact with soil. Seed Application: In small areas, seeds can be scattered by hand. In larger areas, you may want to employ a lawn spreader or some other mechanical means. We recommend adding 1-2 parts clean, dry sand to 1 part wildflower seeds which will help the seeds spread evenly. Do not use beach sand, as it usually contains salt. It may be wise to spread most of the seed, but to save some for filling in bald spots at a later date. Seeds must come into contact with the soil in order to germinate. Do not bury seeds more than 2-3 times their thickness. Planting rates: Aim for a planting density of 70 seeds per square foot. 90g of seeds will cover 1,000 ft². Use 4kg per acre. 500g covers about 5,500 ft². If you are seeding an area where site preparation and weeding are not possible, double this rate. Growing Keep the seeded area as evenly moist as possible to help the seeds germinate and the young seedlings become established. Weeds need to be kept under control. Once they are growing, most mixes will not require additional water except in long periods of hot, dry weather. All of our mixes should re-grow for several years, but will benefit from re-seeding. In late summer, many of the components will produce seed heads that can be harvested and replanted the following spring.
Walleriana Baby Pink Impatiens bloom in a lovely shade of pink. Packet of 30 seeds. Impatiens require warm soil (75 degrees F) and light to germinate. Sow Impatiens seed in a peat-light mix or sterilized well-aerated soil mix. Sow the seed thinly, by pressing the seed into the starting mixture—do not cover the seed with starting mixture. Cover loosely with plastic wrap to hold in humidity. Once all danger of frost has passed, you can plant your impatiens seedlings out in your garden. Impatiens plants enjoy moist but well-draining soil and partial to deep shade.

Salvia 'Amistad' is one of the great perennial salvias discovered by Argentine salvia expert Rolando Uria at a plant show in Argentina.

So far, we have seen no sign of the stoloniferous trait of the Salvia guaranitica parent. The tops of the stalks are adorned with masses of dark purple flowers, each held in a lovely black calyx from June through frost...a hummingbird delight!
