🌼 Southwest Wildflower Seed Mix for Hot, Dry, Low-Elevation Gardens

Bring rugged, living color to the toughest corners of a Southwest landscape. We formulated this wildflower seed mix for hot, dry, low-elevation plantings below 7,000 feet across Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Southern California, and Southern Nevada, where long, hot summers ask a lot of a garden. The blend pairs fast annuals with hardy perennials, so you get bold first-year blooms and a stand that returns and deepens season after season. These are quality, US-grown seeds, non-GMO and untreated.

🌸 Expect a tapestry that runs 36 to 48 inches tall: scarlet flax and red corn poppy set against blue cornflower, blue flax, and Texas bluebonnet, with golden coreopsis, black-eyed Susan, and Indian blanket carrying the warm tones. Because the mix includes hard and dormant seed, germination is staggered, which stretches the color from spring well into the warm months. New to sowing a meadow? Our How to Grow Wildflowers from Seed guide walks you through it step by step.

🌻 Backyard beds
Scatter for a natural, meadow-style border that shrugs off heat once established.
🐝 Pollinator habitat
Nectar-rich annuals and perennials draw bees, butterflies, and other pollinators all season.
☀️ Low-water meadows
Built for drought-prone, sun-baked sites that challenge most seed blends.
🍂 Dormant fall seeding
Sow in fall in mild-winter regions and let the seed wake up with spring.

🌱 How to Plant

Prepare your site by removing weeds and loosening the soil so seed makes good contact with bare ground. Broadcast the seed evenly, then rake lightly. Cover the seed to about two to three times its thickness, or drill no more than 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil moist until germination.

Seeding rate

1/4 lb covers 500 to 1,000 sq ft, or 5 lbs covers 10,000 to 20,000 sq ft. For a meadow look with scattered wildflowers, use the lower end. For an average display with good coverage, use the middle of the range. For a lush, almost solid stand, choose the upper end.

Best time to plant: early to late spring once soil reaches 55°F, or as a dormant fall seeding in mild-winter regions.

Safety & Responsible Use

This is a horticultural seed mix for planting and ornamental use, not for human or animal consumption. A few species in the blend, including Texas Bluebonnet (a lupine), can be harmful if eaten, so we suggest keeping the seeds and growing plants out of reach of children, pets, and grazing animals. Wash your hands after sowing, and store unused seed in a cool, dry place away from food.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which regions and elevations is this seed mix made for?

We formulated this blend for hot, dry, low-elevation landscapes below 7,000 feet, including Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Southern California, and Southern Nevada. It is built for the long, hot, dry summers those areas are known for, so the annuals and perennials in the mix settle in and thrive where many other seed blends struggle.

Will these wildflowers bloom the first year?

Yes. We balanced this mix with fast annuals that bring bold color in the first season and hardy perennials that return and fill in over the years that follow. The hard and dormant seeds in the blend germinate on a staggered schedule, which stretches the bloom window and keeps the color coming.

How much seed do I need, and why is the seeding rate such a wide range?

Our general guideline is 1/4 lb per 500 to 1,000 square feet, or 5 lbs per 10,000 to 20,000 square feet. The range is wide because planting goals vary so much, from a small backyard bed to a five-acre meadow. For a natural meadow look with scattered wildflowers, use the lower end of the rate. For an average display with good coverage, use the middle of the range. For a lush, almost solid stand of wildflowers, choose the upper end.

Are these seeds treated or GMO, and what if I am not happy with them?

Every batch is non-GMO and untreated, selected for seed purity of 95 to 99 percent and tested for germination at 70 to 95 percent, so you know exactly what is going in the ground. That same transparency runs through our 100% money-back guarantee. Our policy is simple: if you aren't happy, send it back and receive a full refund. Anytime, for any reason.

Practical, Useful, Down to Earth, Inspiring!
Format: Paperback
I love this book. After reading the first chapter early one morning I went outside to feed and water my cats and came in and wrote a poem about flowing water, tangled morning glories and memories of my mother. It's one of the most inspiring, practical and encouraging books about writing poetry that I've ever read, and trust me, I've read them all. It has technical information and poems to illustrate each chapter, which is very helpful. The suggestions at the end of each chapter are down to earth and do-able, unlike some books that are just too high-minded for the average person. If you love to write poems and just need some inspiration and a little advice and encouragement, then definitely buy this book. It's worth its weight in gold!

Took me by surprise 😮
Format: Paperback
The revised part of my review: I do agree with a reviewer; Thomas "Should Have Been Better" Especially his paragraph here: [Unless (like the authors) you think that Sharon Olds' "passing blood and feces and water" and her "stool black with iron pills" (page 234) are high points in the world of modern poetry, you may resist their suggestion to "read all five of her books, for pleasure first, of course, but secondly to examine how she goes about her difficult task" (page 47).] As I have read more, I am reevaluating my own opinions of this book. I still feel it has been helpful, although much of it I would have preferred to have never read! Poor choice of examples to a student indeed! This, is my original review: I thought it was going to be a bunch of lame assignments, well there definitely are some assignments so to speak. I haven't even made it through half of the 1st chapter and I've written 6 or 7 new reflections (which some call poetry)! It digs deep, at least it did for me...pretty personal when you open yourself up to it. Good challenge and good lessons to glean from and grow as a writer. I still plan on keeping this around, probably with a few pages removed.

A first Poetry book...
Format: Paperback
Update (7/22/20): I must elaborate more on my intention for this book, for had my previous brief update felt vague. By practicing writing, I meant understanding and placing down the basic conventions of poetry because I am critical when it comes to writing. As I explore through the pages in this book, involving just the underlining, the structure of each topic in this book makes for ease of learning. Near the end of each topic contains ideas for writing, allowing one to utilize the content for practice. After all, I'm not an expert, just one who has the curiosity for crafted writing. Maybe this book may be sufficient enough to hone in the skills of poetic writing; for me, exploring other poetry books invites more perspective and this is a starting point. (Book condition) I have just started reading this book, so there is not much input I can include. For now, my review is not based on the content, but rather the condition of the book. I was bummed that this book came in damaged on the lower spine, and had to order another copy, so I can return the other copy later. It is disappointing, books that have been returned have not been inspected. Even if we cannot contact the representatives, I decided to slip a note about it, so others do not receive the copy I returned. end of rant. I will update on this book, once I have immersed myself in this book. I am a beginner and even though I learned poetry in high school, I wanted to delve into this book, so I can practice writing.

Two practing poets share guidance and inspiration
Format: Paperback
Normally I'm suspicious about guides to writing poetry. The creation of a poem is such a personal and private affair, that I tend to despair of long distance help. Happily "The Poet's Companion" strikes such a balance between inspiration and craft that it's the next best thing to participating actively at an outstanding workshop. I benefitted from the poetic themes and supported exercises, feeling creatively rejuvenated by the authors' challenges. It seems to have no ideological axe's to grind-its only goal is to advance the poetic impulse from the brain to the page. I am truly grateful to have this book as it has aided in a personal liberation from a massive case of writer's block. I recommend this book to everyone of us who loves to read and learn the practices of writing poetry.
