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.

In spite of the name, Boneset has no connection to broken bones. Early settlers used this plant in the treatment of dengue or "break-bone" fever, which is carried by mosquitoes and causes muscular pain so horrific it feels like bones are breaking. Though its medicinal effectiveness has been debated in recent years, it was once used as a cure-all for the common cold, coughs, and various other complaints. During colonial times, boneset was one of the most well-known healing plants in America.Starting at $2.50 USD -

Because of their Mexican heritage, these bright annuals meet high heat and drought conditions with native beauty and vigor. Spanish conquistadors searching for gold discovered these flowers on their journeys through Mexico. Mission gardens often included these flowers, which priests gave the name "cosmos," the Greek word for a harmonious whole, because of their neatly spaced petals. Cosmos flowers made their way to England with Spanish ambassadors in the late 18th century, and to the United States in the following century.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.
