American Meadows

American Meadows is one of the most respected online retailers of wildflower seeds, perennial plants, flower bulbs and vegetable seeds in all of North America. Our people have been helping supply gardeners since 1981. We seek to be a trusted gardening partner for creative gardeners -those who are willing to combine new ideas and products with classic favorites. Our customers range from some of the most experienced horticulturists in the country, to those who simply want to add a little color to their life, and everyone in between.

Because native perennials have made their home in the US for ages, they're already well-acclimated to our growing conditions and require less care than nursery-bred and hybrid plants. This means that they don't struggle as much to survive swings in temperature, periods of less rain or more rain, and bouts of humidity than cultivated ornamental flowers will. Further, the mutually-beneficial relationships that natives have in place with pollinators and other wildlife make them the best choices for gardeners looking to support bees, birds, and butterflies.

Summer is here, and we hope you're enjoying your wildflowers. If you're new to wildflower meadow gardening, you may be wondering what to expect from your wildflower meadow. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions. If you planted a mixture with wild annuals in it (That's all regional mixtures, All-Annual, Butterfly/Hummingbird, etc.), your bloom should begin between 6-12 weeks after the seed sprouts. For example, in the Northeast, if you plant in late May, bloom begins during June or July.
