Southwest Wildflower Seed Mix for Hot, Dry Low-Elevation Gardens (AZ, NM, UT, S. CA, S. NV) | Non-GMO, Untreated Pollinator Blend

🌼 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.

🌱 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.

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.
