Wildflower Seeds - Desert Mix

Desert Mix is appropriate for use in the desert regions, and also for gardeners who want to achieve a desert “look” or for use as an over-seed mix in a desert garden.  The species need heat and prefer good drainage.  Most are spring bloomers, but some will continue flowering well into summer.  Since the desert landscape is beautiful during the colorful spring as well as the austere summer, be careful to not sow this mix too heavy.  Allow for some warm season “bare earth” and a good view of the rocks, mounds, and woody plants of your desert garden, i.e.;  jojoba, globe mallow, juniper, agave, brittlebush, chuparosa and cactus/succulent species.

Planting instructions: Seedbed or area to be seeded should be prepared by light cultivation and weed removal. The optimum planting season is November 15 through March 31, just before anticipated rain. Broadcast seed evenly over the soil surface. Rake the area lightly to incorporate seed into the top 1/4″- 1/2″ of soil. A top dressing of composted organic mulch (not manure) is recommended to help maintain even moisture during the germination period.
Maintenance: Irrigate just enough (between rains) to maintain soil moisture during
germination. After germination until initial flowering, sprinkle the area to a depth of about 2″.
After flowering, little to no supplemental water should be needed.
