Many wildflowers will tolerate drought conditions or relatively poor soils. Finally, when reading up on wildflowers and the conditions they like, remember that the same plant often prefers different growing conditions in different regions of the country. For instance, many species that grow well in full sun in the North perform best in partial shade when planted in areas that have longer, hotter summers. Wet mesic Excessively wet in winter, spring and after heavy rain, but often dries in summer. Mesic Medium moist.
Water soaks in with no runoff.
Dry mesic Well-drained. Water is removed from soil readily, not rapidly.
