Description
Wildflower Mix 'Deer Resistant' is a specialized open-pollinated blend of annual and perennial wildflowers chosen for their natural aromatic foliage, bitter taste profiles, or prickly textures that deter browsing deer and rabbits. Growing into a colorful, naturalized meadow display ranging from 12 to 36 inches tall, it features a vibrant succession of blooms including Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susan, Poppies, Coreopsis, Sweet Alyssum, and Foxglove. Beyond repelling nuisance wildlife, this low-maintenance mix creates a thriving sanctuary for native bees, butterflies, and beneficial garden pollinators from late spring through autumn frost. Perfect for property borders, rural meadows, sunny hillsides, and low-water landscape plots.
Suitable Space:
Open meadow fields, rural property borders, sunny garden slopes, cottage borders, erosion control hillsides
Season:
Late Spring through Autumn Frost (Spring to Frost Bloom Window)
Best Time for Sowing (Zone 6b):
Direct sow outdoors late April through May once soil can be worked, or broadcast late October through November for natural winter stratification. Clear plot of weeds, loosen top inch of soil, broadcast seeds evenly (mix seeds with dry sand for uniform distribution), rake lightly (sow 0.125 inches deep or surface compress). Keep soil moist until seedlings establish.
Sunlight:
Full Sun (6+ hours direct sunlight daily required for maximum bloom density)
