🏔️ Rocky Mountain Wildflower Seed Mix for High Elevations

Bring resilient, high-country color to a mountain landscape. We blended this wildflower seed mix from native and adaptive species curated to flourish at 6,000 feet and above, across Western mountain climates like Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Montana. It is built for the dry, rocky, well-drained soils those elevations are known for, pairing fast annuals with long-lived perennials so the planting carries continuous color from late spring to first frost. These are quality, US-grown seeds, non-GMO, pesticide-free, and never coated with synthetic chemicals.

🌸 Expect a layered display that reaches 36 to 48 inches tall: Giant Mix Columbine and Rocky Mountain Penstemon alongside golden blanketflower, glowing California poppy, and sky-blue flax and cornflower, with Shasta and African daisies, fleabane, black-eyed Susan, and crisp white baby's breath and sweet alyssum filling in throughout. With roughly 45 percent annuals for first-season color and 55 percent biennials and perennials for staying power, the mix gets more beautiful every year and shrugs off summer dry spells once established. New to sowing a meadow? Our How to Grow Wildflowers from Seed guide walks you through it step by step.

🌱 How to Plant

Loosen the top 1/4 inch of soil so seed makes good contact with bare ground. Broadcast the seed evenly, rake lightly to cover, tamp it down, and water gently. Keep the soil moist until germination. Once established, these high-altitude wildflowers tolerate summer dry spells.

Seeding rate

1/4 lb covers 500 to 1,000 sq ft, 1 lb covers 2,000 to 4,000 sq ft, or 5 lbs covers 10,000 to 20,000 sq ft. Use the lower end of the range for a natural meadow look, and the upper end for a fuller, denser stand.

Best time to plant: dormant sow in fall before snowfall, which gives the seed natural stratification over winter, or sow in early spring after snowmelt for quicker first-season blooms.

Safety & Responsible Use

This is a horticultural seed mix for planting and ornamental use, not for human or animal consumption. One species in the blend, Rocket Larkspur (Delphinium ajacis), can be harmful if eaten, so we suggest keeping the seeds and growing plants out of reach of children, pets, and grazing animals. Wash your hands after sowing, and store unused seed in a cool, dry place away from food.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which elevations and regions is this seed mix made for?

We designed this mix for high-elevation Western mountain gardens at 6,000 feet and above, including Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Montana, and similar regions. The species are chosen to flourish in the dry, rocky, well-drained soils typical of the mountains, with minimal irrigation once they are established.

Will these wildflowers bloom the first year?

Yes. About 45 percent of the mix is fast annuals, so you get colorful blooms in the very first season. The remaining 55 percent is biennials and perennials that return and spread over the years that follow, so the planting grows more beautiful over time and carries continuous color from late spring to first frost.

When should I plant, and how much seed do I need?

For best results, dormant sow in fall before snowfall, which gives the seed natural stratification over winter, or sow in early spring after snowmelt for quicker first-season blooms. For coverage, 1/4 lb covers 500 to 1,000 square feet, 1 lb covers 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, and 5 lbs covers 10,000 to 20,000 square feet. Use the lower end of the rate for a natural meadow look and the upper end for a fuller, denser stand. Keep the soil moist until germination; once established, these high-altitude wildflowers tolerate summer dry spells.

Are these seeds treated or GMO, and what if I am not happy with them?

Every batch is non-GMO, pesticide-free, and never coated with synthetic chemicals, just clean seed selected for purity of 95 to 99 percent and tested for germination at 70 to 95 percent, so you know exactly what is going in the ground. That same transparency runs through our 100% money-back guarantee. Our policy is simple: if you aren't happy, send it back and receive a full refund. Anytime, for any reason.

This was a favorite fourth grade class book club book during a study of Native Americans.
Format: Paperback
This year my fourth grade class read the book Children of the Longhouse as a book club book. They were divided into groups of 4 and 5, and each day they would prepare a section of the book to read, and discuss it. Then the leader that day of each group shared what they thought. I don't want to spoil the story, but we were examining the relationships that the characters and the community in the book had to nature, and my students loved that. They found it interesting to learn about the beliefs, and that the challenges people had to face and overcome. They loved the climax and the ending too. Characters that they had felt were "bad guys" led to discussions of what options people in another culture might have which would necessitate them doing things that seem bad to us, like disobeying adult advice. I love the way this book fleshes out a pre European existence in the Northeast that helps us picture what life might have been like in an Iroquois village. We love the role that LaCross plays. My students use the Iroquois word for it. I pointed out the glossary at the back with pronunciations for Mohawk words, and my students loved using them and would even discuss how to correctly pronounce them. The book introduced my students to many ideas that they had never been exposed to, and they cared about the characters a lot. They also loved discussing the book more in an in depth way, and then hearing what other groups had had to say. I was interesting how similar the things that each group shared were. We can see that we need to shift our attitudes and be more connected to the natural world all around us.

museum quality
Format: Paperback
This is a kid's book, which is well illustrated, and useful. I have worked as a storyteller in schools. Kids of all backgrounds love native stories! All of Joseph Bruchac's books are high quality, museum pieces, just really good, the apotheosis [ideal] of what a storybook could be like. gives a very good description of the native lifeways around stories, and gives another view of native storytelling. is another book that gives you native context, by an author who also has native storybooks in print, including . Entering into native lifeways is not necessarily judgeable by white man culture, as shows. One thing one notices in native cultures is that they ask new questions, something like one sees in . I find native metaphysics to be similar to Quantum Mechanics. While not a native book, gives some ideas on how life would work, from that perspective. has stories about tricksters, which are not dissimilar to native stories. teachingdrum.org used to have a list of books of native stories, which is the most comprehensive I've seen. That is a nonprofit, and I have no connection with them, this cites the info resource only. All storytelling is fascinating. is one example of European stories about animals, which are not totally dissimilar. Stories are fascinating. If you want to entrance, train, entertain, educate, and improve children, nothing is faster or easier than storytelling.

Wonderful book for many reasons
Format: Paperback
I recommend this book for its story, cultural accuracy, and high interest action. First it is an exciting story of how conflicts arise and can be resolved with an exciting lacrosse game at the end. How cool is that? But the cultural and historical details make this a fascinating read for all ages. If you want to know about the lives of Native Americans in the New York area, written by a Native American, and put into an historically accurate story, this is a great read. I would recommend this as a high interest type of reader for middle school readers, one that would challenge them as well. The story could be about conflicts today, but the action is naturally more intense. If you are looking for an accurate portrait of Native American life, Bruchac is a wonderful author for you to choose. It is hard to find good books about northeastern Native Americans.
