Wildflowers

Dry, sandy, nutrient-poor soil. No water except rain. Little tender care. Seeking beautiful blooms. It all sounds like an ill-fated companions-wanted ad, and to gardeners familiar with traditional horticulture, it invites despair.

To the native-wildflower gardener, however, these conditions sound perfect for a colourful, everblooming, drought-tolerant, low-maintenance meadow garden — a wonderful alternative to a high-input, high-maintenance conventional garden or lawn.

Native wildflowers evolved to thrive in their particular environments. For those of us who have spent our gardening lives coddling exotic species, giving them daily ministrations of fertilizer, water and undivided attention, the notion that native plants actually want to grow is a liberating concept. When you choose indigenous plants that suit the particular conditions of your plot, a native-wildflower garden couldn't be easier to grow.
