West Cascade Wildflower Economy Mix

The West Cascade Wildflower Mix is an all-flower mix of annuals and perennials that are native to the Northwest region of the United States.  Note that most perennials will not bloom in the first year that they are planted from seed.  Typically, perennials will establish a plant during the first year and then will bloom in the second and subsequent years.  You may not see all of these flower species bloom during the first year that they are planted.

On a site of bare and loose soil, that will provide optimal seed-to-soil contact, a broadcast seeding rate of 9 lb./acre may be used.  If very little site preparation has been done (i.e. only scratching the surface of the soil and existing vegetation is present), then use the doubled rate of 18 lb./acre.

Planting Tip: It’s easy to accidentally plant all the seed in one spot and run out because the seeds are so small.  You may want to mix the seed with something to help thin it out and spread it with such as mixing potting soil in a wheelbarrow with it or purchasing sand or vermiculite at a garden store to mix with it. Seeding a little heavier in a smaller area is okay as it may help crowd weeds out more.

The broadcast rate for seeding is 14 – 17.5 pounds per acre.

The seed drill rate for seeding in rows is 7 pounds per acre.
