Description
Where to use Little Bit Shady flower seed mix? This wildflower seed mix is perfect to cover areas of partial sun, or light shade.
Our signature Little Bit Shady Wildflower Seed Mix is one of our first original seed mix compositions. It remains a popular choice with gardeners, and land managers because it is so versatile. We knew how many landscapes deal with large shade trees, and how hard it is to grow grass in shade so we developed this mix back in the late 1990s to address these conditions. We called it Little Bit Shady wildflower mix because we used these traditionally sun-loving wildflowers in shadier conditions. Guess what? The ones selected for our shady wildflower mix bloomed well even in more shady conditions. We use this shade-tolerant seed mix in areas with less than 6 hours of direct sun, including woodland edges and filtered sun areas. Please note that this mix will also work in full sun, and blooms less in dark shade. These shade-tolerant flowers bloom more with some bright light available, or some full sun exposure part of the day.
