Avoid rich, moist soils, or the plant tends to suffer and flop over or become leggy. Yarrow plants will readily spread via seeds or rhizomes, so it may be beneficial to plant in an area with plenty of room for Yarrow to populate.HOW TO PLANT YARROW SEEDS: When started outdoors, spread Yarrow seeds via broadcasting into moistened soil and do not bury or cover them, as light is required for the germination process. Keep the soil moist as the seeds germinate. Weed out weaker plants until plants are 18-24 inches apart as they grow larger or as they are transplanted into the garden from indoors.HOW TO CARE FOR YARROW: Deadheading of spent flowers encourage a new flush of bloom throughout the season. Water Yarrow sparingly but deeply. On particularly hot days, a bit of water may revivify the plant. Yarrow will aggressively spread through reseeding or via rhizomes, dividing the plants every few years can facilitate the health of the plant. After the blooming season ends, the plant can be cut back to the ground to tidy up the planting area. YARROW NEEDS COLD STRATIFYINGHOW TO COLD STRATIFY SEEDSEveryone wants plants. Now. But there are a small group of seeds that require a special treatment before they will even germinate in a climate that has temperatures below freezing. This process is called “Cold Stratification.” There are two ways to accomplish this.Fall PlantingIf time is not a problem, you can put them in the ground in fall and let them go through a winter. They will sprout next year, but not flower. The following year, having gone through two winters, they will return and bloom as expected.If you are planting poppies direct sowing is recommended in late fall or early spring for zones 2-8Create a “False Winter”The second way to do this, if you want to save time, is to create a “false winter.” What this does is trick the seeds into thinking they have been in the ground for an entire year. All they need is to be in your refrigerator for at least 2 ½ months.About 3 months before spring, place seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of slightly dampened, clean peat, paper towel, or a mix of clean peat and sand.Seal and label the bag with seed name and date, then store in the refrigerator (not freezer) for at least 2½ mos. before planting in spring. (The cold period mimics a full winter’s cold.) Once your seed has been treated, it’s ready to plant when spring arrives. WE SHIP FAST & FREE!

BLANKET FLOWER Perennial Gaillardia Native Wildflower Fresh Non-GMO 200 Seeds
Gaillardia aristata Blanket Flower Perennial 24” Native Wildflower 200 SeedsThis is a Perennial and can be divided every 3 years to make more!Pure Seed – Non-GMO – No Filler BLANKET FLOWER SEEDS Gaillardia aristata Perennial; Grows up to 24 Inches North American Native Wildflower Prefers full sun exposure PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Blanket Flower Seeds Blanket Flower or “Blanketflower” is a stunning native perennial wildflower with richly colored, daisy-like flowers. The plant produces intricately colored petals of alternating red and yellow hues. Blanket Flower Seeds can be planted successfully anywhere in the USA, but this species is especially beloved in arid areas with limited drainage. Gaillardia forms a slowly spreading mound and the common name may be a reference to how they can slowly spread and “blanket” an area. Name: Blanket Flower Seeds Botanical Name: Gaillardia aristata Life Cycle: Perennial Light Requirement: Full Sun, Partial Sun Planting Season: Spring Plant Type: Medium height green stems with yellow petals and bright orange center. Features: Heirloom, Attracts Pollinators, Attracts Hummingbirds, Drought Tolerant, Deer Resistant, Easy to Grow & Maintain, Container Garden Color: Yellow, Red Blooms: Summer, Late Summer, Early Fall, Fall Plant Height: 12-24 inches Plant Spacing: 12-18 inches Planting Depth: 1 inch Sowing Method: Direct Sow Cold Stratification: No Hardiness Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Ships: Year Round How to Grow Blanket FlowersBlanket flowers are fairly foolproof if planted in any well-drained soil in a full-sun location. They also grow easily from seeds planted directly in the garden after the last frost date (or started indoors about 4 to 6 weeks early).Deadheading isn’t mandatory, but it may stimulate additional blooms. If the plant languishes in the heat of summer, cutting it back dramatically may reinvigorate it for good fall blooming.LightFull sun is what these plants love best! The blanket flower can handle some partial shade, particularly in hot climates, but they will get a bit floppy and will not flower as profusely.SoilGaillardia is not particular about soil pH, but it does need well-draining soil. It will grow in somewhat moist conditions, but heavy clay soil will probably kill it.WaterImmediately after planting, water frequently (every other day or so) until you see the flowers. Once established, Gaillardia is extremely drought tolerant. It can go without watering unless there are extremely hot and dry conditions, then it’s best to water the bed once or twice per week. Avoid overwatering. Temperature and HumidityBlanket flowers thrive in full sun and can withstand hot summer temperatures. They do not require a humid environment and do better in hot, dry climates over cool, moist ones.FertilizerPoor soils seem to encourage more flowering than rich soils, so go easy on (or avoid) the fertilizer.PruningBlanket flower does not require deadheading to keep blooming, but the plants will look better and be fuller if you do cut the stems back when the flowers start to fade. You will also get more continuous flowering with deadheading, so don’t be shy about it.WE SHIP FAST &FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.

SWEET WILLIAM / DIANTHUS Perennial Mixed Colors Fragrant USA Non-GMO 500 Seeds!
SWEET WILLIAM / DIANTHUS Perennial Mixed Colors Fragrant Non-GMO 500 Seeds!100% Pure Seed – Non-GMO – Fresh Seed – Safe Seed PledgeDianthus barbatusThese sweetly-scented blossoms will bring irresistible charm to any flower bed. This delicate flower blooms in pink, red, and white, and is a happy camper in most garden conditions.Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) belongs to the Dianthus flower family, which also includes pinks and carnations. Greek botanist Theophrastus gave these flowers the genus name Dianthus, which means “divine flower.” The origin of the common name Sweet William has been debated, though one interesting theory states that the “William” comes from a mispronunciation of the French word for the flower, “oiellet.” The name has also been said to honor either William Shakespeare, the Duke of York, the Duke of Cumberland, or William the Conqueror. Their sweetness comes from the distinctive clove-like scent of the blossoms; in the language of flowers, this flower symbolizes gallantry.FAST FACTSCommon Names: Sweet-William, SweetwilliamLatin Name: Dianthus barbatusSpecies Origin: Southern EuropeType: Garden FlowersLife Cycle: PerennialUSDA Zones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11US Regions: California, Mountain, Arid/Desert, Plains/Texas, Midwest, Northern, Northeast, SoutheastStratification: No StratificationGermination Ease: No StratificationSunlight: Full SunHeight: 16 InchesColor: White, Pink, RedBloom Season: Blooms Late Spring, Blooms Early SummerUses: Aromatic HOW TO GROWSowing: Direct sow Sweet William seed after the last spring frost, planting it just below the surface and compacting the soil slightly. To start the seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sow just below the surface of a flat; compress the soil slightly and keep it consistently moist. Keep the temperature at 60 degrees F until germination, which should take place within 14-20 days. Thin or transplant the seedlings.Growing: This plant adapts well to dry or rocky soils. Water seedlings until they become established; mature plants are drought tolerant and will only need watering in exceptionally dry periods. This plant usually develops a rosette of leaves in its first season and a flowering stalk in the second summer, though it may bloom in the first year if started early enough. Deadhead the faded blossoms for prolonged blooming. After 2 years of growth, divide the plant for healthy growth. This plant readily reseeds itself, but volunteer seedlings can easily be removed if not wanted. This plant attracts bees and butterflies while resisting deer.Harvesting: For sweet-scented fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the leaves that will fall below the water. For dried flowers, choose blossoms that have just opened and dry them whole or on the stem. The petals are also edible, and make colorful garnishes.Seed Saving: At the end of the season, allow the blossoms to mature and produce seed pods. The pods will turn dry and brown, splitting open on the top when ripe. Shake the pods over a container to remove the seeds, which are tiny black discs. Store the Sweet William seed in a cool, dry place.WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.

Choose a location with well-draining, not rich, soil that receives full sun during the growing season and cover them with no more than a 1/4 inch of soil. The seeds require a period of cold weather, called stratification, before germination. How do you stratify penstemon seeds indoors?Put this in a labelled, sealed plastic bag and store in a refrigerator for one day. The next day place this in the freezer for one day. Repeat this for one week, alternating between the fridge and the freezer. After stratifying, plant seed 0.32 cm (1/8 inch) deep in pots. What happens if you don’t cold stratify seeds?Without cold stratification, some seeds may remain dormant and never germinate. In other words, cold stratification gives your seeds a jump start on the growth process! PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: PENSTEMON Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30-60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. ABOUT PENSTEMON: A perennial sometimes called Beardtongue, Penstemon plants will reward you with brilliant non-stop blooms with deep bronze-green foliage. These flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies into the garden and offer a variety of colors such as scarlet, pink, blue, purple, orange, yellow, and white.WHEN TO PLANT PENSTEMON SEEDS: Sow seeds indoors in starter trays or small pots in late winter. After the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings and transplant them into your garden.WHERE TO PLANT PENSTEMON SEEDS: Penstemon thrives in full sun or partial shade in fertile, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. These plants are drought tolerant once established and are perfect for beds, borders, rock gardens, and cut flowers!HOW TO PLANT PENSTEMON SEEDS: Press flower seeds into soil, but do not cover. Keep seeds moist until germination, or 14-30 days.HOW TO CARE FOR PENSTEMON: Penstemons needs very little water and barely any fertilizer. Fertilize when planting only. Deadhead after flowering to maintain vigor and cut back to the base in early spring. Penstemon is generally disease free, but keep an eye out for slugs, snails, spider mites and eelworms.COLD STRATIFYING: Everyone wants plants. Now. But there are a small group of seeds that require a special treatment before they will even germinate in a climate that has temperatures below freezing. This process is called “Cold Stratification.” There are two ways to accomplish this.Fall Planting: If time is not a problem, you can put them in the ground in fall and let them go through a winter. They will sprout next year, but not flower. The following year, having gone through two winters, they will return and bloom as expected. If you are planting poppies direct sowing is recommended in late fall or early spring for zones 2-8Create a “False Winter”: The second way to do this, if you want to save time, is to create a “false winter.” What this does is trick the seeds into thinking they have been in the ground for an entire year. All they need is to be in your refrigerator for at least 2 ½ months. About 3 months before spring, place seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of slightly dampened, clean peat, paper towel, or a mix of clean peat and sand. Seal and label the bag with seed name and date, then store in the refrigerator (not freezer) for at least 2½ mos. before planting in spring. (The cold period mimics a full winter’s cold.)Once your seed has been treated, it’s ready to plant when spring arrives.WE SHIP FAST & FREE!

ABOUT PENSTEMON: A perennial sometimes called Beardtongue, Penstemon plants will reward you with brilliant non-stop blooms with deep bronze-green foliage. These flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies into the garden and offer a variety of colors such as scarlet, pink, blue, purple, orange, yellow, and white.WHEN TO PLANT PENSTEMON SEEDS: Sow seeds indoors in starter trays or small pots in late winter. After the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings and transplant them into your garden.WHERE TO PLANT PENSTEMON SEEDS: Penstemon thrives in full sun or partial shade in fertile, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. These plants are drought tolerant once established and are perfect for beds, borders, rock gardens, and cut flowers!HOW TO PLANT PENSTEMON SEEDS: Press flower seeds into soil, but do not cover. Keep seeds moist until germination, or 14-30 days.HOW TO CARE FOR PENSTEMON: Penstemons needs very little water and barely any fertilizer. Fertilize when planting only. Deadhead after flowering to maintain vigor and cut back to the base in early spring. Penstemon is generally disease free, but keep an eye out for slugs, snails, spider mites and eelworms.COLD STRATIFYING: Everyone wants plants. Now. But there are a small group of seeds that require a special treatment before they will even germinate in a climate that has temperatures below freezing. This process is called “Cold Stratification.” There are two ways to accomplish this.Fall Planting: If time is not a problem, you can put them in the ground in fall and let them go through a winter. They will sprout next year, but not flower. The following year, having gone through two winters, they will return and bloom as expected. If you are planting poppies direct sowing is recommended in late fall or early spring for zones 2-8Create a “False Winter”: The second way to do this, if you want to save time, is to create a “false winter.” What this does is trick the seeds into thinking they have been in the ground for an entire year. All they need is to be in your refrigerator for at least 2 ½ months. About 3 months before spring, place seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of slightly dampened, clean peat, paper towel, or a mix of clean peat and sand. Seal and label the bag with seed name and date, then store in the refrigerator (not freezer) for at least 2½ mos. before planting in spring. (The cold period mimics a full winter’s cold.)Once your seed has been treated, it’s ready to plant when spring arrives.WE SHIP FAST & FREE!

Plants form dense mats that create an excellent ground-cover. Plants are 6-12 inches tall, and the lavender flowers appear just above the foliage. As with many species in the mint family, the flowers of Wild Thyme are very attractive to honey bees and wild bees. Parts of the Wild Thyme flower are used medicinally.

It has also been used to treat kidney and bladder problems, poor blood circulation, bad cholesterol, and colic.FAST FACTSGroundcover SpecificationsSeason: PerennialUSDA Zones: 3 – 9Height: 6 – 12 inchesBloom Season: SummerBloom Color: PurpleGrowth Rate: ModerateEnvironment: Full sun to partial shadeFoot Traffic: LIghtDeer Resistant: YesLatin Name: Thymus PulegioidesHOW TO PLANT CREEPING THYME SEEDSDETAILED CREEPING THYME PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS Start indoors 6-8 weeks prior to your last frost. Soil Temperature: 65-70 degrees Average Germination Time: 14-21 Days at 65-70 degrees Planting Time: Sow Creeping Thyme seeds in starter trays 6-8 weeks prior to the end of frost season for transplanting out in the garden. Soil Depth: Press the seeds into the soil but do not cover. Seeds need light to germinate. Moisture: Keep the seeds moist until germination. Getting ready to plant outside: Harden off the seedlings for 7-10 days prior to transplanting outside. Then transplant out into the garden bed. Add compost at the time of planting to enrich the soil. Planting Location: Plant Thyme in full sun and in fast-draining soils. Thyme does not like wet soils and may rot in soils that hold water. Plant Spacing: 6-8” apart. Light Preference: Sun/Part-shade. In very hot climates thyme will need part-shade to do well. Soil Requirements: Creeping Thyme grows best in light, dry, well-drained soil. Note: Creeping Thyme will become woody and needs to be divided or replaced after 3-4 Years..STARTING CREEPING THYME SEEDS OUTDOORS (do so at your own risk, Creeping Thyme seeds cannot be allowed to dry out before germinating and they take 7-21 days to germinate) Plant creeping thyme seeds directly outside after the danger of frost has passed. Soak seeds for 24 hours in warm water prior to planting. Prepare a seed bed, loosen the soil and remove weeds. Scatter the Creeping Thyme ground cover seeds evenly and press them lightly into the soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soaked. Do not allow seeds to dry out. These are tiny tiny seeds so if the top of the soil dries out the seeds will dry out and not germinate. Thyme prefers a sandy, dry soil. Avoid planting in heavy, wet soils. Creeping Thyme is a beautiful ground cover, between stepping stones or rock crevices, and to edge garden beds.WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail.

Penstemon EATON’S Red Hummingbird Perennial Beardtongue USA Non-GMO 100 Seeds!
EATON’S Penstemon RED Hummingbird Plant Perennial Native Tubular Flowers Non-GMO 100 Seeds!100% Pure Seed – Non-GMO – Fresh PRODUCT INFORMATION Bearded Tongue / Firecracker Penstemon Native Crimson-red flowers in the summer Drought tolerant, once established Deer tend to avoid Tubular, crimson-red blooms are a beacon to hummingbirds and butterflies. Red Penstemon flowers in profusion from June to September, and narrow, glossy dark green foliage provides a dramatic backdrop for the blooms. An easy-care, low-maintenance, native perennial, Red Penstemon grows 16-18 in. tall and is suitable for rock gardens, borders and open woodland areas. It’s drought tolerant, once established, and deer tend to avoid. For best results, plant in full sun to partial shade. Zones 5-9 This easy-to-grow perennial makes a unique, vibrant statement in the garden and is lovely when cut for bouquets. Also known as Firecracker Penstemon, this perennial blazes with intense crimson color. This western native thrives in desert areas, so it is very resistant to heat and drought, making it an ideal choice for xeriscaping. John Mitchell, an 18th century American botanist, recorded the first botanical description of this plant genus; Carl Linnaeus included it in his landmark publication Species Plantarum in 1753. According to legend, Native Americans once used this plant as a versatile medicinal remedy. Its unusual common name comes from a fuzzy “tongue” in each open bloom, which gives a slight resemblance to a mouth and a tongue. The genus name “Penstemon” comes from Greek words for “five threads,” referring to the stamens of each blossom. FAST FACTSCommon Names: Firecracker Penstemon Latin Name: Penstemon eatoniiSpecies Origin: US Native WildflowerType: Native WildflowersLife Cycle: PerennialUSDA Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11US Regions: California, Mountain, Arid/DesertStratification: Cold/Wet for 8 WeeksGermination Ease: Stratify 8 WeeksSunlight: Full SunHeight: 24 InchesColor: RedBloom Season: Blooms Late Spring, Blooms Early SummerUses: Attracts Pollinators, Hummingbirds, Cut Flowers, Deer Resistant PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSSowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the Eaton’s Penstemon seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30-60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. This seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in the spring.Growing: Water seedlings until they become established. This plant develops rather slowly, and usually begins blooming in its second year. Mature plants tolerate drought well, though they also appreciate occasional watering in especially dry weather; excessive heat and dryness can cause wilting. This plant grows well in rocky soil, and has excellent resistance to disease and pests. After blooming cut the plant back to several inches above the soil, unless seed is wanted. Do not overwater, since this plant is particularly susceptible to root rot if the soil becomes too moist. If seeds are not required, cut the plant back after blooming has finished. This plant often self-sows, and is highly attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.
