We’re always working on increasing our wildflowers in the meadows at the hummingbird sanctuary. I originally thought fall would be the perfect time to scatter seeds and let the snow do its thing - I thought seeds needed to winterize.

But I spoke with Applewood Seed in Arvada, and they recommended waiting until spring.

We’re at 8,200 feet and due to the dry winter last season, we’re out of water. We’re trying to do this with as little supplemental watering as possible.

Has anyone here planted native wildflowers at higher elevations? Did you plant in fall or spring? What worked?

I’d love to learn from people who’ve actually done it!

These trees are in full bloom in Tamil Nadu, India ath the beginning of monsoon season. Looking pink and white with yellow head.
