Wildflower Seeds - Dwarf Mix Includes Candytuft, Snapdragon, Clarkia Amoena, etc.

Planting Season: Sow in spring after the last frost, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms.

Light Requirement: Full sun to partial shade. Most components thrive in full sun (6 hours).

Seed Prep: No special preparation required. Seeds germinate readily without stratification.

Water Needs: Keep soil evenly moist during germination (7–14 days). Once established, water moderately; dwarf varieties prefer consistent moisture but tolerate brief dry periods.

Planting Depth: Surface sow or cover very lightly (⅛ inch). Many dwarf seeds need light to germinate.

Sowing Method: Broadcast seeds over prepared soil or sow in rows. For containers and window boxes, sow seeds directly in the container and thin to recommended spacing.

Plant Spacing: Space plants 4–8 inches apart. For a fuller display in containers, plant closer (4 inches apart).

Hardiness Zones: Annual in all zones; Candytuft is perennial in zones 5–9.

Additional Tips: This mix is perfect for small gardens, patios, and balconies. The compact plants require no staking and maintain a tidy appearance throughout the season. Pinch back early to encourage bushier growth. Regular deadheading extends the blooming period. For best results in containers, use a good quality potting mix and fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks.
