Wildflower Seeds - Plains Region
The Great Plains cover a large area in the the Central US that was once home to vast prairies and grasslands. The area stretches from Mexico to Canada, but has one thing in common - not a lot of rainfall. Much of the area gets less than 20 inches of rain in a year, and it is concentrated in the winter months. It takes drought-resistant plants to get through the long, dry summers on their own. If you have a way to irrigate the prairie wildflower seeds you buy online, then you can grow a lot of things in the plentiful sunshine of this region.

These daisies originate in the African region of Namaqualand, as well as the country of Namibia. As soon as the spring rains come, these bright daisies begin blooming; they always face the sun, and will close in cloudy weather or at sunset. Because moisture in these regions can be erratic, this plant must adapt to drought conditions. The genus name "Dimorpotheca" comes from the Greek words for "two shaped fruit," referring to the plant's unique ability to produce two types of seed.Starting at $2.50 USD -

Sunflowers were named for their habit of turning their faces to the sun. At the beginning of their development they exhibit heliotropism, or following the sun in its course from east to west, though the mature blossoms usually end up facing straight east. These versatile plants have an ancient history, beginning with Native American tribes across North America as early as 2000 BC. The seeds were used for their oil, ground up for meal, or simply eaten as a snack; the plant also provided dye and medicinal ointment. In 18th century Europe, sunflowers were widely used both in gardens and for making cooking oil; the production of this heart-healthy oil eventually became a major industry both in Europe and America. These are said to be the happiest of flowers, and in the language of flowers they symbolize loyalty and constancy.Starting at $2.50 USD -

In 1753, eminent botanist Carl Linnaeus gave the Blood Flower milkweed its Latin genus name, "Asclepias." Asclepias, the name of the legendary Greek deity of medicine and healing, is especially appropriate since this plant formerly had numerous medicinal uses. At one time, the silk from the seed pods was spun for fabric or used for stuffing pillows; in World War II, school children gathered the silk to provide a cheap filling for soldiers' life jackets. Commercial attempts to make use of this abundant plant included the manufacture of paper, fabric, lubricant, fuel, and rubber; eventually these became impractical and were abandoned. In the wild, the Blood Flower milkweed attracts flocks of butterflies and their larvae; butterflies are immune to the plant's poison, and actually become rather poisonous themselves as protection from predators.Starting at $2.50 USD -

The Great Plains cover a large area in the the Central US that was once home to vast prairies and grasslands. The area stretches from Mexico to Canada, but has one thing in common - not a lot of rainfall. Much of the area gets less than 20 inches of rain in a year, and it is concentrated in the winter months. It takes drought-resistant plants to get through the long, dry summers on their own. If you have a way to irrigate the prairie wildflower seeds you buy online, then you can grow a lot of things in the plentiful sunshine of this region.
