This Southwest Wildflowers Seed Mix is a carefully curated blend of wildflower seeds specifically designed for the unique climatic and soil conditions found in the southwestern United States. This region is characterized by its arid climate, diverse ecosystems, and a rich variety of native flora. The inclusion of wildflowers in garden landscapes not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also contributes significantly to local biodiversity.

Wildflowers serve as vital components of the ecosystem, providing essential habitats and food sources for various pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Studies indicate that gardens featuring native wildflowers can increase pollinator populations by up to 50%. This is particularly important as pollinators play a crucial role in the reproduction of many plants, including those that are vital for human food production.

The Southwest Seed Mix typically includes species such as Desert Marigold (Baileya multiradiata), California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), and Blue Flax (Linum lewisii). These species are not only drought-resistant but also adapted to thrive in poor soil conditions, making them ideal for sustainable gardening practices. The use of native wildflowers can reduce the need for irrigation and chemical fertilizers, aligning with environmentally friendly gardening principles.

When planting the Southwest Seed Mix, it is essential to consider the timing and method of sowing. The optimal time for planting is in the fall or early spring, as this allows the seeds to benefit from natural rainfall and temperature fluctuations. A light raking of the soil followed by a gentle pressing of the seeds into the ground can enhance germination rates. It is advisable to avoid covering the seeds with soil, as many wildflower seeds require light to germinate.

Once established, wildflower gardens require minimal maintenance. Regular monitoring for invasive species is recommended, as these can outcompete native plants and disrupt the ecosystem. Additionally, allowing wildflowers to go to seed at the end of their growing season can promote self-seeding, ensuring a vibrant display in subsequent years.

In summary, incorporating the Southwest Seed Mix into your garden not only beautifies the landscape but also supports local wildlife and promotes ecological health. By choosing native wildflowers, gardeners can contribute to the preservation of regional biodiversity while enjoying the myriad benefits these plants provide.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU

Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.

For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.  The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.

We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.

We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds.  We don't touch that stuff and we never will.

The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center. 

Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated).  Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.

To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
