It's Wildflower Sowing Season!

Plant wildflowers! It's a great and inexpensive way to add some color and beauty to your community.

Wildflowers are easy to grow. You simply recreate conditions where the seeds would naturally germinate. Remember that nobody is out in the natural desert tilling the soil, adding amendments, and covering the seeds!?? Wildflowers are a snap to maintain because they're so well adapted to desert conditions of alkaline soil, intense sun, and limited rainfall. They thrive with minimal input from the gardener, so they are a good choice for novices or gardeners with limited time.

• They’re perfect for landscapes: Wildflower seeds offer a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to lawns.

• You can save money: Use wildflower seeds and replace expensive annuals. Pick your favorites and cut costs: Say you want to edge a walk with flowers. Forget the expensive six-packs of plants at the garden center; all you need is a ¼ lb. of your favorite annual wildflowers. For loads of color, sow blanketflower, desert bluebells, desert lupine, desert marigold, fleabane, globe mallow, Mexican gold poppy, Mexican hat, various penstemon, and red flaxand others stay short and bloom for months.

• Plant when you want: Wildflowers can be seeded spring or fall. Let your schedule decide.

• Container gardening?: Try wildflowers for easy, impressive results.

• Wildflowers are great space fillers: Plant seeds anywhere you’d like to add amazing color.

• Top your bulbs with wildflowers: Plant wildflower seeds when you plant fall bulbs and help prevent spring maintenance.
