In cool climates, planting wildflower seeds in spring or early summer is ideal since temperatures are warm enough for germination but not so hot that it’s difficult to keep seeded areas moist. Planting in summer is not recommended since it is difficult to keep seed beds continually moist for the first 4-6 weeks. The hot summer sun tends to dry the soil out too quickly.Wildflower seeds can also be planted in fall in cool climates. Dormant fall wildflower plantings should be late enough so that seeds do not germinate until spring. These must be done when air and soil temperatures are too low for germination, typically after several freezes but before there is snow cover. The seeds will lie “dormant” in the soil until spring when warmer temperatures and moisture are available. Soil expansion and contraction during the winter can also improve seed-soil contact (cold stratification). Perennials can also be sown in early fall provided that there are at least 10-12 weeks of growing time before the plants go dormant for the winter. This amount of time generally allows enough root growth for plants to survive the winter.WHERE TO PLANT WILDFLOWERS: Though many wildflowers do tolerate some filtered shade, and a few actually thrive in it. The vast majority are definitely sun lovers. Wildflowers will generally sprout in all but the most difficult conditions. This means that pampering your site with fertilizer or rich sod is not usually necessary.HOW TO PLANT WILDFLOWERS: Clear the area and work the soil as best you can before planting your seeds.We recommend mixing your seeds with sand – 2 parts sand to 1 part seeds. This allows for a more even distribution and also provides a convenient way to mark which portions of the site have been seeded and which have not. For a smaller area, you can hand-broadcast the seeds. After the seeds have been sown, lightly compress the seeds into the soil about 1/2″ to protect from birds and wind.MOISTURE REQUIREMENTS: All seeds, including wildflower seeds, need ample moisture to germinate and to develop into healthy seedlings. Best results will be obtained by soaking the planted areas thoroughly and maintaining consistent moisture for 4-6 weeks. Afterwards, watering can be gradually reduced over several weeks. In non-irrigated situations, plant in the spring or before periods of anticipated rainfall.HOW TO CARE FOR WILDFLOWERS: Although Wildflowers are pretty easy to take care of, there are some steps to keep it looking beautiful. Regularly weed to ensure your wildflowers are getting the nutrients they need. Water your plants during dry spells. Deadhead blooms that are spent to encourage new growth.WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR WILDFLOWER GARDEN: Most of our wildflower seed mixes contain annual, biennial and perennial species. Please read the mix contents. The annuals are included to assure maximum color during the first season and to act as a nurse crop for the slower-growing perennials. Annuals germinate quickly when conditions are favorable, providing a quick ground cover and competition against weeds. Most perennial and biennial species begin to bloom the second season, but not as profusely as annuals. Therefore, wildflower plantings look noticeably different after the first year.Please print the planting instructions. Your success and happiness is our success and happiness! WE SHIP FAST &FREE!

Tomato COMPANION PLANT MIX w/ Thyme, Basil, Marigold & more Non-GMO 500+ Seeds!
Mother Nature’s Seeds Tomato COMPANION PLANT Mix 500+ Seeds6 Species, Non-GMO, Pure Seed, Fresh for this SeasonMIX CONTENTSBASIL, SWEETCALENDULA, ORANGETHYMEDILLCILANTROFRENCH MARIGOLD PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONWhile controlling pests is probably the most popular goal gardeners are trying to achieve by partnering certain plants together, there are many other benefits to companion planting. Did you know that some types of companion planting can also reduce weed or disease pressure in the garden? In addition, certain plant combinations can improve soil fertility or structure, enhance pollination, or encourage pest-eating beneficial insects.1. Basil, SweetSweet Basil tender annual that comes from the Old World tropics. It prefers sunny locations and rich soil. Appreciates afternoon shade in hot, southern climates. Can be grown in containers indoors as well as outside. Flowers are very attractive to honey bees. Basils have a clove-like scent and taste.Not only is basil a great tomato companion on a plate, it’s also one of the most important tomato companion plants for the garden, most notably when it comes to deterring thrips and tomato hornworms. While traditional companion planting may tell you this is because the scent of basil drives away these pests, this likely isn’t the case. More recent research is indicating it works because the volatile chemicals (odors) released by basil plants mask the scent of tomato plants, making it harder for these pests to find their host plant. On tomatoes, thrips transmit tomato spotted wilt virus and cause stunted growth and stippling on the fruits. Hornworms eat the foliage of tomato plants, leaving only the stems behind. Interplanting tomatoes with basil has been shown to limit egg-laying behaviors of the adult hornworm moths and to limit damage from thrips.2. Calendula BALL’S OrangeAttracts Bees, Attracts Butterflies, Attracts Pollinators, Easy to Grow & Maintain, Edible, Extended Bloom Time, Fragrant. Calendulas have been used for many centuries for culinary and medicinal purposes. Calendula ‘Ball’s Orange’ is an old-fashioned variety with large, fully double, orange flowers and grows to 24 inches tall. Suitable for cutting, beds and borders, and the pollinator garden. Provide light shade in hot climates during the summer. Prefers rich, moderately moist and well-drained soils. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming. The flower petals are edible and have a slightly bitter and peppery flavor.Calendula makes a great companion plant in a vegetable garden because it attracts beneficial insects and repels unwanted pests including tomato worms and nematodes. Consider planting them by tomatoes, carrots, and asparagus.3. ThymeThyme is a perennial from the Mediterranean region. Plants grow to 15 inches tall and develop woody stems when they mature. Thyme prefers sunny locations and light, well-draining soil. The leaves are small and linear, and the flowers attract honey bees and wild bees. Culinary uses: stuffings, poultry, fish, soups, meat, eggs, vegetables and cheese.If yellow-striped armyworms are problematic in your garden then thyme is a great choice among tomato companion plants. Researchers at Iowa State found that interplanting tomatoes with thyme (or basil) resulted in a reduction in egg-laying by adult armyworms. Thyme makes a great living mulch around tomato plants. Just keep in mind that it’s perennial, so the plants will have to be moved when tomato plants are rotated to a new garden spot each season.4. DillDill is an annual that has been used as a medicinal and culinary herb for millennia. Both seeds and leaves are utilized and have a soft, sweet flavor. Leaves are finely divided and feathery looking, and when they are cut and dried are referred to as dill weed. Dill weed has a more mellow flavor than dill seeds. The yellow flowers occur in umbels and can be used for cutting. Certain swallowtail butterflies will use Dill as a host plant.The tiny flowers of dill supply nectar and pollen to many different beneficial insects, including ladybugs, lacewings, minute pirate bugs, parasitic wasps, tachinid flies, and more. For tomatoes, tiny parasitic wasps feeding on dill blossoms also lay eggs in tomato hornworms, tomato fruit worms, and other pest caterpillars. Always have plenty of dill in the garden and allow it to go to flower to help encourage beneficials.5. CilantroCoriandrum sativum. Everyone is familiar with Cilantro in salsa and other Mexican style dishes, but most people don’t think about the wide variety of uses for this easy to grow herb! Easily introduced into nearly any style of cooking, Cilantro adds a fresh and zesty component to soups, salads and (of course) burritos!In the same plant family as dill and fennel, the blooms of cilantro are yet another valuable nectar source for the predatory insects that consume many common tomato pests. Grow it in and around your garden and be sure to let it go to flower after you’ve made a moderate harvest.6. French MarigoldsBlooming in brightly yellow and orange, Sparky Mix makes a great mid level layer in your garden bed, growing to around 12 inches high.French Marigolds are a popular companion planting for veggies as they are known to help repel harmful pests!Marigolds can help to keep numerous pests away. That means your tomato plant is less likely to suffer from an infestation that could destroy your juicy, delicious crop.PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSHow to Start Herb SeedsSow herb seeds lightly. Place two to five seeds per seed cell or pod. …Keep soil evenly moist. …Ensure adequate drainage. …Provide plenty of light.If direct sowing outside wait until after your last frost . SEED STORING Store your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location. Most seeds have a long shelf life, but heat and moisture will cut that life short. Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing. WE SHIP FAST & FREE!

Here’s how to grow this American native—and important tips on plant care, from deadheading to cutting back in June.Bright upright plants, coneflowers are a North American perennial in the Daisy family (Asteraceae). Specifically, the plant is native to the eastern United States, from Iowa and Ohio south to Louisiana and Georgia. They grow 2 to 4 feet in height with dark green foliage. They are fast growers and self-sow their seed profusely. These midsummer bloomers can flower from midsummer through fall frost!Their genus name Echinacea comes from the Latin name for hedgehog, echinus, referring to the often prickly lower stem of the plant. Coneflowers have raised cone-like centers (hence, the name) which contain seeds that attract butterflies. Leave the seed heads after bloom and you’ll also attract songbirds! Trouble-free, coneflowers are drought-tolerant, once established. They can take the heat! As native plants with prickly stems, they are more deer-resistant than most flowering plants. The most common species available to gardeners is Echinacea purpurea, the purple coneflower. If purple doesn’t pair well with your garden’s color palette, don’t fret: coneflowers can be found in a range of bright or subdued colors.Coneflowers are at home in a traditional garden or a wildflower meadow; they are striking in masses, especially as a mix of various colors. PLANTINGCHOOSING AND PREPARING A PLANTING SITEConeflowers prefer well-drained soil and full sun for best bloom. Choose a location where the coneflowers won’t get shaded out nor shade out others.They may reach between 2 and 4 feet in height, depending on variety.Coneflowers are very tolerant of poor soil conditions, but they perform best in soil that’s rich so mix in organic matter if needed.Coneflowers are drought tolerant.Loosen the soil in your garden using a garden fork or tiller to 12 to 15 inches deep, then mix in a 2- to 4-inch layer of compost. (Learn more about preparing soil for planting.)WHEN TO PLANT CONEFLOWERSMore commonly, coneflowers are bought as small plants with blooms already on the way. These should be planted in spring or early summer.Coneflowers can be started from seed in spring indoors (about a month before the last spring frost date) or outdoors (when the soil temperature has reached at least 65°F/18°C).Note: Coneflowers started from seed may take 2 to 3 years before producing blooms.Better yet, don’t cut back coneflower plants and they’ll self-seed successfully!If dividing or transplanting coneflowers, do so in the spring or fall.HOW TO PLANT CONEFLOWERSPlant coneflowers about 1 to 3 feet apart, depending on the mature size of the variety.If you are moving a potted plant into the ground, dig a hole about twice the pot’s diameter and carefully place the plant in the soil. Bury the plant to the top of the root ball, but make sure the root ball is level with the soil surface. Water it thoroughly.FALL PLANTING Fall Planting Results in Earlier Blooms Like fall-seeded lawns, fall-planted wildflower seed has a chance to “settle” into your site during the winter, and is ready to burst into growth in early spring. This is why fall-planted wildflower seed is up and in bloom about two weeks earlier than spring-planted seed. CAREHOW TO GROW CONEFLOWERSPut a thin layer of compost around the plants, then a 2–inch layer of mulch to help keep the plants moist and prevent weeds.Native coneflowers really do not need fertilizer; as discussed above, just ensure your soil has plenty of organic matter when you plant.In late spring, provide supplementary water only if the season is extremely dry or your coneflowers are newly planted.Optional: To encourage delayed blooming for fall enjoyment, cut coneflower plants back by 1 foot when plants come into bloom. This will result in later-flowering, more-compact growth because coneflowers can get leggy. Cut some and not others for more staggered bloom heights and times.Optional: When flowers are faded/done blooming, deadhead if you wish to prolong the blooming season. But consider leaving late-season flowers on the plants to mature; the seed heads will attract birds and promote self-seeding. Deadheading will prevent self seeding if this is your preference. To deadhead, cut the dead flower back to a leaf where you can see a bud ready to swell. Watch for beneficial soldier beetles in August and do not harm them.In the fall, a light mulch in colder regions is beneficial. Cut back in late winter/early spring when you’re tidying up the garden.GROWING CONEFLOWERS IN POTSWe tend to grow coneflowers in the ground as perennial plants, but you can certainly grow them in pots if the containers are deep enough for the plant’s taproot (at least 2- or 3-gallon pots). Ensure there are holes in the bottom of the pot. Put a thin layer of crushed gravel at the bottom of the pot for drainage.Fill container halfway with potting mix. Tamp down. Plant the root ball an inch below the rim of the container, spreading out the roots and adding soil slowly until even with top of root ball, tamping soil lightly along the way. Water deeply. Keep pots in partial shade for two or three days and then move to a site that receives full morning sun and partial afternoon shade.Always water deeply when the soil is dry to touch. Fertilize pots every couple of weeks with a water-soluble 10-10-10 fertilizer. Deadhead for continued bloom, clipping right below base of the flower stem. Do not water leaves from above, as this can encourage fungal disease on leaves. Instead, water at soil level. Use an insecticidal soap or neem oil solution spray if you see any aphids or pests.If you wish to keep the coneflowers in pots through winter, wait until the plant growth begins to slow in fall, then prune your plants back to soil level, and then move the pots to an area with low-to-moderate, indirect light where the temperature will stay between 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the soil every couple of weeks and water lightly when the top 3 inches are dry.When new growth appears in the spring, transition the plant to a brighter, warmer (60 to 70 degrees) setting. Moving the plant helps to prepare it for living outdoors in the spring and summer. WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.

In cool climates, planting wildflower seeds in spring or early summer is ideal since temperatures are warm enough for germination but not so hot that it’s difficult to keep seeded areas moist. Planting in summer is not recommended since it is difficult to keep seed beds continually moist for the first 4-6 weeks. The hot summer sun tends to dry the soil out too quickly.Wildflower seeds can also be planted in fall in cool climates. Dormant fall wildflower plantings should be late enough so that seeds do not germinate until spring. These must be done when air and soil temperatures are too low for germination, typically after several freezes but before there is snow cover. The seeds will lie “dormant” in the soil until spring when warmer temperatures and moisture are available. Soil expansion and contraction during the winter can also improve seed-soil contact (cold stratification). Perennials can also be sown in early fall provided that there are at least 10-12 weeks of growing time before the plants go dormant for the winter. This amount of time generally allows enough root growth for plants to survive the winter.WHERE TO PLANT WILDFLOWERS: Though many wildflowers do tolerate some filtered shade, and a few actually thrive in it. The vast majority are definitely sun lovers. Wildflowers will generally sprout in all but the most difficult conditions. This means that pampering your site with fertilizer or rich sod is not usually necessary.HOW TO PLANT WILDFLOWERS: Clear the area and work the soil as best you can before planting your seeds.We recommend mixing your seeds with sand – 2 parts sand to 1 part seeds. This allows for a more even distribution and also provides a convenient way to mark which portions of the site have been seeded and which have not. For a smaller area, you can hand-broadcast the seeds. After the seeds have been sown, lightly compress the seeds into the soil about 1/2″ to protect from birds and wind.MOISTURE REQUIREMENTS: All seeds, including wildflower seeds, need ample moisture to germinate and to develop into healthy seedlings. Best results will be obtained by soaking the planted areas thoroughly and maintaining consistent moisture for 4-6 weeks. Afterwards, watering can be gradually reduced over several weeks. In non-irrigated situations, plant in the spring or before periods of anticipated rainfall.HOW TO CARE FOR WILDFLOWERS: Although Wildflowers are pretty easy to take care of, there are some steps to keep it looking beautiful. Regularly weed to ensure your wildflowers are getting the nutrients they need. Water your plants during dry spells. Deadhead blooms that are spent to encourage new growth.WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR WILDFLOWER GARDEN: Most of our wildflower seed mixes contain annual, biennial and perennial species. Please read the mix contents. The annuals are included to assure maximum color during the first season and to act as a nurse crop for the slower-growing perennials. Annuals germinate quickly when conditions are favorable, providing a quick ground cover and competition against weeds. Most perennial and biennial species begin to bloom the second season, but not as profusely as annuals. Therefore, wildflower plantings look noticeably different after the first year.Please print the planting instructions. Your success and happiness is our success and happiness! WE SHIP FAST &FREE!
