Suggestions

Ideal for gardens, meadows, sunny slopes, and low maintenance areas. A minimum of 4 hours sunlight daily assures best results. Many wildflowers are drought resistant and will survive reduced water. In arid climates or during drought conditions, up to 0.5" of supplemental water per week may be required. It is helpful to mix clean, dry sand with the seed. We recommend 1 to 2 parts sand to 1 part seed.
