Hummingbird Pollinator Mix

This mixture of annuals and perennials provides a bright and colorful array of flowers producing pollen and nectar through the growing season. Designed with specific plant species known to be beneficial and attract hummingbirds, as well as keep them coming back! Fall planting results in an earlier and longer blooming period. Early summer planting can be successful with supplemental irrigation.

The colors in bloom will vary at different times of the year, depending on how much water and sunlight are available to the wildflowers. The colors which you will see at different times of the year will include: blues, purples, reds, yellows, whites, and oranges.

The actual composition of wildflowers will vary from season to season and from year to year, but generally you will receive the following wildflowers in each order of this mix:

Common Columbine Aquilegia vulgari
Rocket Larkspur, Delphinium ajacis
Sweet William, Dianthus barbatus
Rose Mallow, Lavatera trimestris
Toadflax, Linaria vulgaris
Golden Lupine, Lupinus microcarpus densifloru
Arroyo Lupine, Lupinus succulentus
Monkeyflower, Mimulus aurantiacus
Mountain Penstemon, Penstemon strictus
Scarlet Sage, Salvia coccinea
Black Sage, Salvia mellifera
Nasturtium, Tropaeolum majus

This mix will make a great addition to any area of your landscape that you want to enhance the color with wildflowers that are not commonly found in typical store-bought seed mixes. Many of the seeds in this mix have been hand-harvested from the wild and, until now, have only been available to professional and commercial buyers.

This mix has been a real favorite for sprucing up the color in areas such as:
Open fields
Cabin sites
Next to walk-ways
Flower gardens
Window boxes
Hillsides and other sloped areas
Any area with partial to full sun and available moisture (rainfall or irrigation).

This wildflower mix contains no grasses and no fillers. We pride ourselves on our professional-grade wildflower seeds. In these circumstances, we recommend our California Habitat Mix. Our California Habitat Mix is a low-growing grass mix that establishes quickly, helping fill in gaps between wildflowers and creating a meadow-like look. Because most of the varieties included in this mix are short-growing bunchgrasses, they won’t hide the beauty of the wildflowers. Our California Habitat Mix is a great complement to this wildflower mix. We recommend buying about a half pound of our California Habitat Mix for every 2000 ft² (1 lb.) of wildflower mix. This amount may be increased or decreased depending on your desired ratio of wildflowers to grass.
