Anyone know where I can find (order or otherwise) inexpensive wildflower
seeds?

Susan, you might try:
Native American Seed
610 Main St.
Junction, Tx. 76849
915-446-3600
800-728-4043
They are a Texas company, but can probably tell you what will do well
in your area. :-) Chuck

yeah. how many do you need? (to cover how much land space)


a(n) unicorn is slightly bigger than an arabian horse and yet smaller than
pegasus. she/he does not have wings nor more than one horn on its head.

In California, my source for "real" wildflower seeds is:

Theodore Payne Foundation
10459 Tuxford St.
Sun Valley CA 91352

tel: (818)-768-1802
fax: (818)-5215

They are a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation
and propogation of native flora. An excellent and friendly source.
You can find seeds of some of the more common species for less money
elsewhere, but they are a valuable resource worth supporting.

Regards,
Richard Fee

Do you have HQ (Home Quarters) there? We bought a shaker style can of
various wildflower seeds, just shook them out onto prepared soil and
watered often. It's fun not knowing what's going to come up--just like
real weeds. :-)

Try any nursery, they sell them according to where you live. Or try Burpee.

I've bought seeds from:

Wildseed Farms,Inc.
1101 Campo Rosa Road
Eagle Lake, Texas 77454
1-800-848-0078
Fax 409-234-7407

They have seeds for all zones.

The area I scattered the seeds had many blooms the first year, but this
past year (the second year) there were less as well as different kinds of
flowers. I'm waiting for next year because I think many of the flowers
are biennial, so I got a good showing the first year, a different showing
this past year, and, hopefully, another good showing next year.

Anyway, it didn't cost that much for a lot of seeds.

Happy gardening,

Elizabeth Powell
