The Art of Formulating a Seed Mix

At Wildland Seed Co., we specialize in creating seed mixes tailored to thrive in diverse climates and serve specific ecological purposes. Each mix represents years of experience and research to ensure optimal performance based on climate, environment, and intended use.



Customized Mixes for Varied Conditions

Our seed mixes are formulated to cater to different environmental conditions such as dry, moist, or shady areas, as well as specific climatic factors like rainfall, temperature ranges, humidity levels, and elevation. Some mixes are designed to accommodate height restrictions, ensuring they are suitable for specific landscape needs.



Understanding Species Variability

Each seed mix is intentionally composed with varying quantities of species. Factors such as plant size, seed cost, seed count per pound, aggressiveness, and availability influence the composition. For instance, our Great Basin/Colorado Plateau Wildflower Mix may contain fewer Blanket Flower seeds compared to Indian Paintbrush, reflecting differences in establishment ease and seed characteristics.



Flexibility Based on Availability

While we strive to maintain consistency, seed mixtures may occasionally vary due to the availability of individual species. Seed production is influenced by seasonal factors such as weather conditions, impacting availability from year to year.





Wildflower Mix Diversity

All our wildflower mixes feature a blend of annual and perennial seeds. Annuals provide quick ground cover and vibrant colors in their first growing season, with some capable of reseeding for subsequent growth. Perennials, on the other hand, bloom for multiple years, enriching landscapes with sustained floral displays from spring through fall.



Ensuring Seasonal Bloom Diversity

Our seed mixes are curated to ensure a spectrum of colors and blossoms throughout the growing season. By including species that bloom in spring, summer, and fall, we guarantee a continuous cycle of floral beauty and ecological diversity.
