Most wildflowers require a great deal of sunshine. If your area receives at
least eight hours of direct sunlight per day, your wildflowers will prosper.
A few species can tolerate partial shade, but for best results they must have at
least four hours of sunlight each day. If you are planting in an area which will
receive 4-6 hours of partial sun, the below list should help in your selection.
Should the area selected receive less than 4 hours of direct sun it is not
recommend that wildflowers be planted. Our BUTTERFLY HUMMINGBIRD MIX
contains many of the more shade tolerant wildflowers. Perennial wildflowers
require 2 springs before flowering so have patience. Perennials wildflowers
are listed in the left column; Annual wildflowers in the right. Each species is
linked to a photo.
NOTE: Sun loving wildflowers that are planted in a shaded environment will
produce spindly or "leggy" plants with very few blooms.
