Wildflower Seeds - Southeast Region
The Southeast Region gets a lot of moisture and heat, better known as humidity. The warm Gulf waters provide a steady supply of moisture, and keeps it green for much of the year. Some areas experience cold and snow in the winter months, but it is usually pretty short-lived. If you live in this region, you can grow a lot of native wildflower seeds without too much trouble, but will need to watch out for species that can't handle too much heat or moisture. Also, some of the native species of the Midwest require a cold dormant season to complete their life cycle, so if you do not have enough chill hours, they might not grow well. Other than that, you have a lot of bulk flower seed packets available here, and can tailor them to your needs by filtering the results with the left-hand menu.

This plant's genus name of "Iberis" indicates its original home on the Europe's Iberian Peninsula. It often grows on the rocky slopes and hills of coastal regions as well as the rest of Europe. It became known in colonial American gardens in the late 18th century, and well known horticulturist Bernard McMahon first offered its seed for sale in the 1804 edition of his Catalogue. The common name "candytuft" actually originated from the flower's presence on the Mediterranean island of Candia, an ancient name for Crete.Starting at $2.50 USD -

Gilia capitata

The Gilia genus contains mostly desert-loving plants, native to the area stretching from the western United States to South America. Spanish botanists Hipolito Ruiz and Jose Antonio Pavon found the first known Gilia species on their expedition to South America, later detailing it among other species in a 1794 publication of their research from Peru and Chile. They gave this family of flowers the name Gilia in honor of Filippo Luigi Gilii (1756-1821), an Italian naturalist whom they greatly admired for his research in South American native plant life at the Vatican Observatory.Starting at $2.50 USD
The Southeast Region gets a lot of moisture and heat, better known as humidity. The warm Gulf waters provide a steady supply of moisture, and keeps it green for much of the year. Some areas experience cold and snow in the winter months, but it is usually pretty short-lived. If you live in this region, you can grow a lot of native wildflower seeds without too much trouble, but will need to watch out for species that can't handle too much heat or moisture. Also, some of the native species of the Midwest require a cold dormant season to complete their life cycle, so if you do not have enough chill hours, they might not grow well. Other than that, you have a lot of bulk flower seed packets available here, and can tailor them to your needs by filtering the results with the left-hand menu.
