Wildflower Seeds - Rustic Charm Mix Includes Incarvillea Delavayi, Chelidonium Majus, Eryngium, etc.

Planting Season: Sow in spring after the last frost, or in late fall for natural stratification. Some seeds require a period of cold to germinate.

Light Requirement: Full sun to partial shade.

Seed Prep: Some seeds benefit from cold, moist stratification (4–6 weeks at 34–38°F / 1–3°C). Eryngium seeds may benefit from scarification. For ease, fall sowing is recommended for natural stratification.

Water Needs: Keep soil evenly moist during germination (14–28 days). Once established, water moderately; plants are reasonably drought tolerant.

Planting Depth: ⅛–¼ inch. Some seeds need light to germinate; do not bury deeply.

Sowing Method: Broadcast seeds over prepared soil in spring or fall. For best results in cottage gardens, prepare soil well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing.

Plant Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart. For a naturalized look, sow more densely and thin as needed.

Hardiness Zones: USDA zones 4–9 depending on components.

Additional Tips: This mix is ideal for creating a romantic, rustic garden feel. The unusual flower shapes add textural interest and make excellent cut or dried flowers. Allow some plants to self-seed for natural return. In colder regions, provide winter mulch for perennial components.
