Wildflower Seeds - Moisture Resistance Mix Includes California Poppy, Oberonia, Coreopsis, etc.

Planting Season: Sow in spring after the last frost when soil has warmed to at least 60°F (16°C). For best results in moist areas, sow when soil is workable and not waterlogged.

Light Requirement: Full sun to partial shade. Most components prefer full sun (6+ hours) but tolerate partial shade.

Seed Prep: No special preparation required. California Poppy seeds benefit from light for germination.

Water Needs: Keep soil evenly moist during germination (7–21 days). Once established, these plants tolerate periodic wet conditions but perform best with consistent moisture.

Planting Depth: ⅛–¼ inch. Some seeds need light to germinate.

Sowing Method: Broadcast seeds over prepared soil in moist areas. For rain gardens, sow after the area has been prepared and drainage has been addressed.

Plant Spacing: Space plants 8–12 inches apart. For a naturalized look in rain gardens, sow more densely.

Hardiness Zones: USDA zones 3–9 depending on components; some components are annuals in all zones.

Additional Tips: This mix is ideal for areas where water collects after rain. While these plants tolerate moisture, they still require well-draining soil and do not thrive in permanently waterlogged conditions. For rain gardens, plant in the upper slope or edge where water drains. Add compost to improve soil structure and moisture retention.
