Forbs

DeLange Seed's Wildflower Mix is a special blend of 20 annual and perennial flowers and forbs designed to bloom from spring until frost. A scattering of this mix established in wildlife clearings can transform even the worst day of hunting into an experience to remember. Plant in mid to late fall through early spring at a rate of 8 to 12 lbs. per acre. One of the most common causes of stand failure with wildflowers is planting too deeply. Often it is best to scatter seed on top of soil and lightly rake in. (This mixture may change without notice due to availability of species).
