Definition Of Wildflowers

A wildflower is one that has developed naturally over time without human intervention and retains the original characteristics of the plant family. Many species of wildflowers are considered herbs with uses beyond beautiful flowers!

Some wildflowers are considered weeds with pretty flowers. Habitat destruction and pollution factors have endangered many species of wildflowers almost to extinction.

Wildflower Facts

Once started most wildflower seed species will reseed and return year after year with nominal work on the part of the gardener. Low maintenance feature and availability of seed has fostered the revival of wildflower gardening. Annuals come back from seeds that germinate each spring and bloom each year to make more seeds. Perennials take two years before they bloom, because of this you may want to be careful when weeding. Perennials are often mistaken for weeds as they do not bloom in the 1st year like annuals. They usually live several years (2+).

Fall seeding prepares seed to germinate quickly when the right conditions set in the following year.

Spring wildflower seeding needs to be as early as possible and the plants will germinate at the "right" time. Mowing or hand seeding wildflowers in the fall will help spread the seeds onto a new site for the next spring, summer, or fall blooming season.

Many people see wildflowers growing on trips and think they should grow just as well at their home or look like those they have seen growing in their area. Wildflowers are no different than trees or grasses. Each has developed over time to genetically become disease and insect resistant to that particular area, soil conditions, climate and other environmental factors. Some wildflowers should not be planted in new areas because of the aggressive growth which can take over native species and wipe them out. Every region has Eco systems within Eco systems and competition is regulated by the genetics within each separate system and it is always best to plant the real native wildflower varieties that can be obtained for your region.
