Butterfly Beltway Deer Resistant Wildflower only mix - BULK

This wildflower mix is specifically designed to be deer-resistant and contains a variety of species that are not typically appealing to grazing deer. The mix includes 21 different species, with the most prominent being Partridge Pea, Purple Coneflower, Lanceleaf Coreopsis, and Wild Senna.

Partridge Pea, which makes up 30% of the mix, is a great addition as it not only produces attractive yellow flowers but also fixes nitrogen in the soil. Purple Coneflower is a well-known perennial that is loved by pollinators and adds a vibrant pop of purple to any garden. Lanceleaf Coreopsis, at 10% of the mix, is a drought-tolerant plant with golden yellow flowers that bloom throughout the summer. Wild Senna, also at 10%, is a legume that improves soil fertility and provides an excellent source of food for wildlife.

Other species in the mix, such as Black-eyed Susan, Golden Alexanders, and Butterfly Weed, are also attractive to pollinators and provide a variety of colors and textures in the garden. Additionally, Anise Hyssop, Wild Bergamot, and Ohio Spiderwort have aromatic qualities that can be beneficial to humans as well as pollinators.

To prep an area for this mix, it is important to clear the ground of any existing vegetation and remove any debris or rocks that may impede the growth of the wildflowers. If the soil is compacted, it is recommended to loosen it with a garden fork or tiller to help the seeds germinate. The area should be watered thoroughly prior to planting, and the seeds should be scattered evenly over the soil. It is best to plant the seeds in the fall or early spring, and they should be lightly covered with soil or mulch.

Overall, this deer-resistant wildflower mix is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add color, texture, and beneficial qualities to their garden while also keeping deer at bay.
