This mix contains native annual and faster establishing perennial wildflower seeds. This mix can be added to other native seed mixes to give your native plant garden color and foraging for pollinators during the first growing season into the second while your native plants are getting established.
Sow the ONPM Fast Flowering Cover Mix at the same time as the ONPM Short Pollinator Garden Seed Mix or ONPM Tall Pollinator Garden Native Seed Mix. The annual wildflower species like Partridge Pea, Indian Blanket, Plains Coreopsis and Lemon Mint act as a cover crop and typically germinate and flower in the same growing season and these species will not impact the perennial wildflowers during the establishment phase.
Contains the following species:
Wildflowers:
Chamaecrista fasciculata - Partridge Pea
Gaillardia aristata - Blanket Flower
Gaillardia pulchella - Indian Blanket
Rudbeckia hirta - Black-eyed Susan
Coreopsis tinctoria - Plains Coreopsis
Monarda citriodora - Lemon Mint
