Most wildflowers require a great deal of sunshine.  If your area receives at least eight hours of direct sunlight daily, your wildflowers will prosper.  A few species can tolerate partial shade, but for best results, they must have at least four to six hours of sunlight each day. Our BUTTERFLY HUMMINGBIRD BLEND contains many of the more shade-tolerant wildflowers.  Perennial wildflowers require 2 springs before flowering so have patience. NOTE: Sun-loving wildflowers that are planted in a shaded environment will produce spindly or "leggy" plants with very few blooms.
