WILDFLOWER
Shade mix

Bring a little magic to the shady corners of your garden with our wildflower blend made specially for partial shade.
These seeds will thrive with about 40% sunlight, offering a beautiful and colorful show even where the sun is softer.

Our mix brings together about 18 varieties of flowers – a perfect balance of about 55% annuals and 45% perennials – for a garden that renews itself year after year. Plants grow to about 24–30 inches (60–75 cm) tall, creating a lively, natural landscape all summer long.

Sowing period

For best results, sow your seeds in early spring when the risk of frost is very low.
You can also sow in the fall, but nature may borrow a few seeds along the way – carried off by the rain, the birds, or little forest friends!
If you want to enjoy a full bloom the first summer, a spring sowing is your best choice.

Choosing the right spot

Wildflowers love healthy, well-drained soil.
If nothing grows in a spot (not even weeds!), it may mean the soil needs a little love – better drainage, richer earth, or a bit of compost.
Some areas, like under big cedar trees, are naturally tricky for most plants.

Before sowing, gently clear the area of existing vegetation, loosen the soil with a rake or garden fork, and make sure the seeds can touch the earth directly — they won’t grow well in thick grass or moss.

How to sow

Scatter the seeds evenly over your prepared soil, like tossing a handful of wishes into the wind. You can keep a small reserve to patch up any bare spots later.
The seeds should be gently pressed into the soil, but not buried deeper than two or three times their thickness.

Wildflower Care

In the first weeks, keep the soil lightly moist to help the tiny seeds wake up and sprout.
Once established, your wildflowers will need little care — they are hardy and resilient, just like nature intended.
During very hot and dry periods, a bit of watering will keep them happy.

At the end of the season, you can gather seeds from the blooms and sow them again next year, letting your garden grow wilder and more beautiful with each passing summer.

Little Gardener’s Glossary

When you sow seeds, you grow seedlings!

Sowing usually happens indoors in small pots (or in a greenhouse).
After a few weeks, when your seedlings are strong enough, you can gently plant them outside where they’ll continue to grow and bloom.

When and how to start seedlings?

Between February and April, as nature wakes up, sow your seeds indoors in small containers placed near a bright window.
Keep the soil slightly moist, and in no time, tiny green shoots will appear.

When nighttime temperatures stay above 10°C (50°F), it’s time to move your plants outdoors.

🌱 You can also sow directly into the soil once the weather is warm enough (May or June, depending on your region), but flowering will be a little later.

Sowing in pockets: Place a few seeds together in a small hole.
Broadcast sowing: Scatter the seeds freely across your prepared area.
