Dwarf Sulphur Cosmos is featured on the front cover, and it grows to a height of just �0-30 inches. This mixture of yellow, gold and orange flowers is great for beds and borders wherever bright, sunny colors are desired, and it makes a delightful addition to seed mixtures.

Applewood has several new garden flower varieties this year. Two new annual sunflower varieties are ‘Lemon Queen’ and ‘Velvet Queen’. Both varieties are branching and produce an abundance of 4-6 inch flowers. Sunflowers make excellent cut flowers, and goldfinches love to feast on the seeds in late summer and fall

Also new is Marigold ‘Petite Mix’, which is a dwarf, crested variety consisting of orange, yellow, gold and bicolored flowers. Petite Mix is perfect for planting in masses, border edging, and container gardening. See pages 6-10 for complete descriptions of our new wildflowers and garden flowers.

Our featured species include Oriental Columbine (Aquilegia oxysepala), a lovely perennial that is native to Asia. It has deep plum and cream colored flowers, an unusual color among columbines.

Supplies are excellent this year for Pansy ‘Swiss Giants’, Sunflower ‘Autumn Beauty’, Cornflower Tall Mix, Chinese Pinks, and Zinnia ‘Lilliput Mix’. Swiss Giants have large, showy flowers and come in shades of blue, red, yellow, white, orange, burgundy, cream, violet and pink

Sunflower ‘Autumn Beauty’ is a taller, branching variety with flowers in autumn colors such as yellow, gold, rust, brown, orange and deep red.

Chinese Pinks are 1�-16 inches tall and have mostly double flowers which are scented like carnations. Flowers occur as solid shades of pink, white, and red, or they are bicolored.

Zinnia ‘Lilliput Mix’ is a dainty, small flowered variety that grows 18-�4 inches tall. The mix includes red, orange, yellow, violet, white, and pink.

Research

Since its founding in 1965, Applewood Seed Company has been committed to a high standard of quality for its products. A comprehensive research program was developed to explore all aspects of growing wildflowers including adaptability, planting rates, site preparation, weed control, and

maintenance. Results of our research can be found in our Planting and Cultural Information on pages 4-5.

All new species and mixtures are tested thoroughly in our trial gardens before inclusion in our catalog. In addition, grow-out trials are performed on existing seed lots to insure that seed is true to type or species.

Seed Laboratory

Applewood’s in-house laboratory, supervised by our Registered Seed Technologist, Mary Loring, ensures that our high seed standards are met. Mary provides quality assurance testing through seed identification, purity analysis, noxious weed examination,

germination testing and seedling evaluation. Any seed not meeting our high standards is not accepted. In addition, all seed in inventory is re-germinated on a regular basis to insure that it still meets industry standards. A report of analysis is available on any seed lot in stock.

Mixture Formulation

Applewood wildflower mixtures are formulated on the basis of climatic conditions (rainfall, temperature range, humidity) and elevation. Most species in our mixtures adapt readily to different soil types provid-ed climate and elevation are suitable. Annuals have been included to establish cover quickly and to give color the first year; some may produce new plants the following year (the biennials may also reseed). Perennial plants live for more than two years, and most flower from the second year onward.

Applewood mixtures are blended to give the wid-est possible range of colors and periods of bloom. Very few wildflowers bloom continually throughout the season; therefore, we have included spring-, summer-, and fall-blooming species in each mix-ture. Colors include blue, purple, red, white, yellow and pink. Mix heights vary from 10 inches to 8 feet. See the chart beginning on page 6 for the height, color and blooming period of each species.

In general, our mixtures are formulated to contain approximately equal numbers of seeds of each species. This varies somewhat because of costs, availability and/or climatic conditions. For example, in the Moist Mixture we have given less seed of species that are particularly aggressive. We strive for a balance of the highest quality for each geo-graphic area.

Mixtures may vary occasionally from the indicat-ed listing, based on availability of individual species.

Seed Quality

Most wildflower seeds and mixtures have a purity of 95-99% and total viable seed percentages of between 70-95%. The total viable seed percent is the germination percent, plus the hard seed or dor-mant seed percent. Hard seeds have impermeable seed coats and cannot imbibe water during seed testing. Dormant seeds are viable seeds that have specific physical or physiological conditions that prevent the seed from germinating at the time of seed testing. The PLS (Pure Live Seed) is obtained by multiplying the percent purity by the percent total viable seed and then dividing by 100.

Selecting a Mix

Our Regional Mixtures are designed to fit the broad cross-section of conditions that generally exist within any one geographic region (and within any one project), i.e., variations in soil, slope, drain-age, exposure and availability of moisture.

For example, we include species for both moist and dry conditions in each mixture, provided that these conditions exist in the particular region. Furthermore, species are included on the basis of their versatility or ability to adapt.

If conditions are relatively consistent or the requirements exacting, one of our Special-Use Mixtures may be appropriate (eg. Dry, Moist, Low-Growing, Super-Short or Shade Mix). For instance, on the rough of a golf course where moisture is controlled, our Moist Mixture may be a better choice than the Regional Mixture indicated for the area.

Likewise, our Low-Growing Mixture (less than 16 inches high) and Knee-Hi Mixture (less than �4 inches high), have been designed to meet the demand from urban and suburban landscape architects and contractors for low-growing blends. These mixtures have a “semi-wild” appearance and can be used along roadsides, in parks, and in commercial and residential developments without looking weedy. Neither mixture will need mowing except once in the late fall, if desired. Both mixtures are very versatile and contain species that will flour-ish in either dry or moist situations.

Custom Mixtures

In certain cases, a custom blend will be most suitable for your project. We can blend a custom mixture according to your specifications. Such mixtures may be based on color, height, climatic conditions, blooming times, or other consider-ations. Proportions of species are determined by seed size, aggressiveness and cost. The best mixtures include both annuals and perennials and usually contain 10-�0 species. Our qualified staff will be glad to assist you in determining your needs. See pg. 30 for more details.

Technical Advice

We encourage you to contact us with the specifi-cations of your project; we will be glad to assist you in selecting the mixture best suited to your needs. Our service includes free telephone consultation on planting times, soil preparation and seeding techniques.

If you wish to personally determine or confirm which species of wildflowers are found in your area, we recommend the 11-volume series, Wildflowers of America, by H. W. Rickett and the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers (Eastern or Western Region). These books picture many wildflowers in color and are available in libraries and/or book stores throughout the United States.

Site Selection

Sowing wildflower seeds without care and planning usually produces unsatisfactory results. Here are some important factors to consider: (1) Does the site support plants now? If you have a site where nothing, including weeds, is growing, that site is unlikely to support wildflowers. (�) Will there be adequate moisture during germination and establishment? Can you supply supplemental water, if necessary? (3) What weed seeds are likely to be present in the soil? Will weeds spread to your site from adjacent areas? Assessment of these factors will enable you to make a realistic choice of a site where wildflowers will prosper and to decide what action will be necessary to ensure your success.

Planting Rates

Each wildflower mixture in this catalog has a rec-ommended minimum and maximum planting rate. The planting rates for some mixtures are adjusted higher due to the presence of small-seeded, non-aggressive species. In general however, the minimum planting rates are based on 60-70 seeds per square foot (4 to 1� pounds per acre), which is usually sufficient to establish a good stand of wildflowers on prepared soil when adequate weed control can be maintained. Maximum planting rates are based on 1�0-140 seeds per square foot (8 to �4 pounds per acre), and are recommended when adequate soil preparation and weed control are not possible, or when maximum color is required. Avoid using more than the recommended rates since poor perennial establishment may result.

When to Plant

The best time to plant in your area depends on the climate and rainfall patterns as well as the species you are planting. In cool climates, plant annuals, perennials or mixtures of annuals and perennials in spring, early summer or late fall. Fall plantings should be late enough so that seeds do not germinate until spring. Perennials can also be sown in early fall provided that there are at least 10-1� weeks of growing time before the plants go dormant for the winter. Late fall plantings are advantageous when supplemental irrigation cannot be provided and adequate rainfall is anticipated in the spring.

In mild climates, plant during the cooler months of the year, fall through spring, for best results. Fall plantings done prior to periods of rainfall will insure an early display of flowers the following spring.

Use of Grasses

Wildflowers can be sown alone or with grasses. For most areas of the United States, we recom-mend using one of our native grass mixtures. For specific requirements, individual species may be preferred. Hard Fescue or Sheep Fescue work well in most areas of the United States. However, in the southeastern states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, we rec-ommend warm-season grasses; Hard and Sheep Fescue will not thrive in these climates.

Warm-season grasses to consider include Gramas, Buffalo Grass and Bluestems. These grasses grow very slowly and are planted for aes-thetic and ecological reasons rather than prompt stabilization of soil.

Aggressive grasses should be avoided because they will crowd out most wildflowers; these grasses include Kentucky Bluegrass, Smooth Brome, Crested Wheatgrass, Bermuda Grass, and Annual Rye. If wildflowers must be used with these grass-es, the flowers should be planted in high-density patches as accents to the grassed areas. Or the flowers may be sown with the grasses if the planting rates of the grasses are reduced significantly.

Planting and Cultural Information

Site Preparation

Proper site preparation is important for prompt germination of seed and healthy growth of seed-lings. Best results will be obtained by planting on cleared ground. Remove existing vegetation to avoid competition from other plants. This may be done by pulling, tilling under, spraying with a general herbicide, or by a combination of these methods, depending upon the size of the area, type and density of vegetation and other factors. Loosen soil by scraping, tilling or scarifying. Tilling should be utilized only when soil is very compacted and further weed control measures can be taken. Specific recommendations are given under the heading, Weed Control.

Seed Application

Method of application depends on the size of the area and the terrain. On small areas, broadcast seeds evenly either by hand or by use of a drop or cyclone spreader. It is helpful to mix a carrier such as clean, dry sand with the seed; sand adds volume and aids in even distribution. We recom-mend using a ratio of 1 or � parts sand to 1 part seed. Rake in lightly, covering seeds to a maximum depth of �-3 times their thickness. Or drag the area lightly with a piece of chain link fence to mix the seed into the surface of the soil. For seeding large areas, i.e., over one acre, specially designed drills are most effective. Drill to a maximum of 1/4 inch and firm soil with a cultipacker; this maxi- mizes seed/soil contact. Hydroseeders are also effective, especially for steep slopes, rocky terrain and other areas where conditions make it imprac-tical for driving equipment.

Hydroseeding is the application of a slurry of seed and water to soil. The slurry may also con-tain mulch (hydromulching), a tackifier and fertil-izer. Mulches are made of wood fiber, paper or excelsior, and their purpose is to hold seeds in place, help retain moisture and provide protec- tion from erosion; mulches are usually dyed green as a visual aid in even distribution. Rates of application for most mulches are between 1500 and �300 pounds per acre. In general, hydroseeding/hydromulching is most successful in moist climates or in irrigated areas.

Most authorities agree that germination is better when seed is applied first with 5-10% of the mulching fiber—the balance of the mulch being applied separately as a second step. This approach ensures optimal seed/soil contact; otherwise, many seeds are wasted because they become suspended in the fiber.

It is important that proper procedures are followed to minimize the amount of time that seed is circulated through pumps or paddles prior to application. Over-circulation may damage the seed.

Moisture

All seeds, including wildflowers, need ample moisture to germinate and to develop into healthy seedlings. Best results will be obtained by soak-ing the planted areas thoroughly and maintaining consistent moisture for 4-6 weeks — then gradually

reducing waterings. In non-irrigated situations, plant in the spring or before periods of anticipated rainfall. After seedlings are established, watering may be reduced depending on the climate and rainfall. In arid climates or during drought condi-tions, up to 1/� inch of supplemental water per week may be required to maintain an optimal display. If weeds are present, remember that they benefit from moisture as much as the wildflowers and may dominate overwatered areas.

Fertilization

Many wildflowers benefit from some fertilization if the soil does not have adequate nutrients. Some wildflowers do fine in poor soils, while others require a more fertile environment. We recommend that a soil test be performed when soil quality is unknown. If the soil needs improvement, use a low nitrogen fertilizer with a 5-10-10 ratio or add organic matter such as weed-free straw or grass clippings, well-rotted compost, peat moss, or leaf mold. In addition to adding nutrients, organic materials enhance soil structure and encourage beneficial microorganisms. Avoid over-fertilizing which may promote weed growth and lush foliage rather than flowers.

Weed Control

Weed control is the biggest problem facing plant establishment and one which has no easy solution. Weed seeds are present in many situations and lie dormant, but viable, for long periods. A weedy area converted to wildflowers will have a large reservoir of weed seeds in the soil, ready to germinate when conditions are favorable. In most cases, it is advis-able to consider weed control in two phases—as part of site preparation prior to planting, and as an important component of the post-germination maintenance program.

Before planting, remove existing weeds by pull-ing, tilling under, applying a glyphosate herbicide such as Roundup®*, or by a combination of these methods. For additional weed control after site preparation, a soil fumigant may be used, or the area may be irrigated to encourage weed growth and then sprayed with a general herbicide.

In very weedy areas, the following method is suggested: (1) Till soil or spray vegetation with Roundup®*. When using an herbicide, allow veg-etation to die, then rake out the dead debris. If perennial weeds such as bindweed are present, using an herbicide is more effective than tilling. (�) Irrigate to encourage germination of weed seeds near the surface; most seeds will germinate within two weeks if consistent moisture is available. Do not till the soil again because this will bring even more weed seeds up to the surface. (3) Spray any new growth with Roundup®*. (4) After raking out dead vegetation, allow soil to recover for 3-4 weeks before planting seed. From our experience, a recovery period of this duration is advisable because extensive use of glyphosate herbicides may cause a delay in germination and in the vigor-ous growth of seedlings.

Once the seeds have germinated, further weed control is usually necessary. If practical, pull all weeds as soon as they can be identified.

Other successful techniques are spot-spray-

ing with a general herbicide or selectively cutting weeds with a string trimmer. Be sure to remove weeds before they reseed.

Many unwanted annual and some perennial grasses can be controlled with the herbicides Grass-B-Gon®*, Ornamec®* and Fusilade®*. These post-emergents do not affect broad-leaved plants so they can be applied over existing flow-ers; they are most effective when sprayed on new growth and young plants. Take care to avoid treat-ing areas with desirable native grasses or fescues.

*Observe all precautions and follow manufactur-er’s recommendations for application.

What to Expect

Wildflowers can provide an excellent, low cost alternative in large-scale, high main-tenance situations, as well as a satisfying change from traditional urban landscaping. However, during their initial establishment period, wildflowers require as much maintenance as traditional plantings.

A smooth, weed- and vegetation-free planting bed is important for good seed-soil contact and prompt germination. Avoid seeding more than the recommended rate since overseeding can result in crowded conditions the first year and poor establish-ment of perennials. Cover seeds lightly to protect them from drying out during ger-mination, and to prevent them from being eaten by birds. Consistent moisture is important for 4 - 6 weeks after planting.

A wildflower planting requires the same weed control measures as traditional land-scaping. Effective measures include site preparation prior to planting and a post- germination maintenance program.

Most Applewood wildflower mixes contain annual, biennial and perennial species. The annuals, which may not be native to your area, are included to assure maximum color during the first season and to act as a nurse crop for the slower-growing perennials. Annuals germinate quickly when conditions are favorable, providing a quick ground cover and competition against weeds. Natural reseeding of annuals ranges from signifi-cant to minimal, depending on the species, climate, soil texture and other factors. Most perennial and biennial species begin to bloom the second season, but not as profusely as annuals. Therefore, wildflower plantings look noticeably different after the first year.

Sometimes it is desirable or even necessary to sow seed in second and subsequent years. Reseeding may be necessary if establishment of wildflowers is spotty or poor. It is possible to reseed bare areas with the original mixture. Loosen soil of bare areas and provide adequate weed control and supplemental irrigation as needed. Where natural reseeding of annuals is minimal, sowing annuals each spring can produce a magnificent annual and perennial display throughout the growing season.

If desired, wildflowers may be mowed in the fall following seed set. Mow to a height of 4-6 inches, and leave the residue on the ground because it is a reservoir of viable seeds.

Grasses: Individual SpeciesNon-aggressive clump grasses such as Sheep Fescue and Hard Fescue work well with wildflowers. They provide good erosion control starting the first season. These grasses perform well in most areas of the United States. The best times to plant cool-season grasses are spring and fall. For the southeastern states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, warm-season grasses are recommended.

The native warm-season grasses are generally slower growing than cool season grasses. These warm-season grasses are usually planted for aesthetic and ecological reasons rather than for prompt stabilization of soil. The best times to plant warm-season grasses are late spring and summer.

Custom Mixtures

Follow these recommendations for a successful seeding project:

1. Start with high quality seed. Applewood’s production fields are managed by knowledgeable seed growers who maintain proper production and post-harvest cleaning techniques. Some species that are difficult to produce are obtained from experienced and knowledgeable collectors. All seed lots are tested for germination and purity to provide assurance that seed meets industry standards.

2. Analyze the project site to determine the most appropriate vegetation for the area. The species chosen should be matched to the geographical region as well as the site conditions of the project. Site conditions include the amount of sunlight, soil properties and pH. If help with seed selection is needed, Applewood’s sales staff can provide assistance.

3. Amend the soil if necessary. If you suspect the soil is poor, a soil test is recommended. Add a low-nitrogen fertilizer or organic matter if needed.

4. Eliminate unwanted vegetation and weeds. Aggressive weeds such as bindweed and Canada thistle should be sprayed with a general herbicide. Otherwise, tilling or plowing the area is effective.

5. Loosen soil by scraping, tilling or scarifying if soil is very compacted.

6. Sow seeds at the appropriate time of year and at the recommended planting rate. Seeding too heavily can result in crowded conditions and reduced diversity.

7. Provide supplemental irrigation if natural precipitation is inadequate for establishment and maintenance. Consistent moisture is critical during the first 4 to 6 weeks of seed germination and seedling growth.

8. Provide ongoing weed control, which is essential for good establishment the first year.

9. Evaluate the project periodically to assess the need for spot seeding, weeding and supplemental watering.

10. A regular maintenance program will enhance the establishment and performance of your seeding project and provide assurance that expectations are being met.

11. Please see our Planting and Cultural Information on pages 4-5 for detailed instructions and information on how to achieve success.
