Wildflowers can be grown wherever you can stretch your imagination.
They are timeless beauties and make a natural addition to any landscape.
Take a look out your window and you are bound to see a spot for
wildflowers right there! Give us a call and then let’s get sowing.
Every year more people are enjoying spectacular wildflower displays, but
the environmental benefits are becoming well recognised. The ability of
attracting and feeding beneficial insects is so important that Wildflower
World is now supporting Apiculture New Zealand, Moths & Butterflies of
NZ Trust and the newly formed N Z Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

What are Wildflowers?
Wildflowers are original flowers from the wild that have not been altered by
mankind. They are survivors and are generally pest and disease free. And,
most will re-seed easily.
What are Garden Flowers? Many of these flowers are direct descendants of
our wildflowers but bred or selected for excellence in colour, fragrance, shape
or form. All our selections are easy to grow but are best sown into trays for
planting out later.
Wildflower World – Who are We?
We are a small NZ family owned company with many years of mail order seed
supply. Our first mail order catalogue was posted in 1990 and since then we
have continued to research, trial and tailorise seed mixtures for NZ conditions.
Wildflower World introduced landscaping with wildflowers, including their
establishment on many roading networks. Our goals are to work further to
enhance wildflower growing, their establishment and application to NZ.
GardenPost
Wildflower World is a sister company to mail order company GardenPost.
GardenPost releases four catalogues per year with a fabulous range of the top
quality bulbs and gifts, sourced from the best companies nationwide. Both
companies offer superb garden products with friendly service and a love of
gardening. As we work in the same office products from both companies can
be purchased together.

Reasons
to Grow
This Year
1. W
ildflowers are really easy to grow. They are very low-maintenance, love lots of sun
yet require minimum water once established.
2. Wildflowers attract beneficial insects which provide invaluable pest control services
as well pollinate our flowers. There is no greater joy than to go into a garden alive
with bees, birds and butterflies in amongst drifts of wildflowers.
3. Wildflowers are good for the environment. They do not attract bugs or diseases and
consequently do not need to be sprayed with toxic chemicals!
4. Wildflowers provide glorious colour. If you dream of a garden with the most amazing
display of nature’s most beautiful flowers then wildflowers are for you.
5. Wildflowers are fun. Whether you’re a new gardener or a seasoned pro, growing,
caring for and cutting wildflowers for summer bouquets is simple and so much fun.
New Zealand Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
Much Ado
about
Bumblebees
Ever since we established Wildflower World we have promoted sowing wildflowers
as food for bees and other pollinators. Now we are thrilled to announce the official
formation of the New Zealand Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
There are only four species of bumblebees in NZ. They help pollinate crops such as commercial
glasshouse vegetables. This work is worth millions of dollars to our economy and without bees
our fruit and vegetables would be much more expensive. But times are tough for bees and
bumblebees as their habitat and food resources continue to decline the
more we farm without flowers.
YOU CAN HELP just by growing wildflowers and joining our new Bumblebee Trust.
Come and learn all about bumblebees and support this new organisation at www.nzbct.org.nz
Plans have started for preservation and education programmes for schools throughout our country.
Come and join today.
Bumblebee Hives
Bumblebee hives are ideal for home gardens and Wildflower World has a unique concept. Choose a wildflower mix such
Pollinator Mix or Bees Birds & Butterflies Mix, sow them and just before they come into flower you can order your very own
hive, pre-loaded with a queen and about 50 workers. Your flowers will provide nutritious food for your bees and they will
in turn aid pollination in your vege garden and fruit tree crops.
Hives are available from Zonda International in Auckland – phone 09 235 5660
Zonda is a foundation member of the N Z Bumblebee Conservation Trust

Growing Guide
for Wildflowers
Papaver Soldier Poppies – see page 29
Our wildflowers will grow in a wide range of conditions throughout the country. Some are suited to
specific conditions - e.g. Summer Dazzler for hot, dry climates or Made for Shade for shady areas. Most
species are good strong self seeders, but having gone through strict bio-security import criteria are not in
any way regarded as noxious. All seed packs have step by step instructions.
How much seed do I need?
For best results we recommend to sow seed at 1 gram
per square metre. However, if you have good quality soil,
have put good effort into preparation so your site is clean
and weed free and if you are able to provide water during
germination, then you could sow seed to a slightly larger
area size.
soggy soils. Heavy clay or very acid soils will benefit
from adding lime - up to 100 grams per square metre.
Fertilising the ground is usually not recommended - it will
encourage weed growth, but we have had some extremely
good results from adding mushroom compost. It improves
the structure and fertility of soils and is especially good for
clay soils.
Where to sow
Climate\When to Sow
Anywhere! A square metre or two in a courtyard, dollops
under roses or in the veggie garden, down a drive, or
go for gold with a full sized meadow! The site does not
have to be flat. Banks are good as long as you are able
to get on them to clean up. If the bank is very steep look
at establishing an area on the crest where maturing
wildflowers will seed down the slope, but watch for “wash
off’ in heavy rain.
Most wildflowers are sun lovers so make sure they receive
at least 4-5 hours sun per day—the more the better! But
if nothing else is growing on your site (e.g.under large
trees) then wildflowers won’t either!
Soil Type
Wildflowers grow well on a wide range of soils. Very
impoverished soils can produce stunted seedling growth
but a basic foliar fertiliser spray will help. Avoid wet or
Beautiful wildflower displays are created
by good site preparation, sowing at the
right time of year and then just a little
patience!
Please take time to follow our
recommendations.
For large areas good preparation is
especially important so we have a “Hot
Tips” leaflet that gives more detailed
information -please contact us if would
like a copy prior to ordering. Bulk
discounts are available for areas larger
than those outlined in this catalogue.
Site Preparation
Wildflower seed must make contact with soil for them to
grow. They will not grow on grass or weeds - these must
be completely removed and the soil surface broken up to
a fine crumb structure. We recommend preparing a site
that is completely weed and grass free. This is critical to
the successful establishment survival and flowering of
individual wildflower species or a meadow.
Sowing can be any time from early spring through to
summer and autumn - refer to our map for a guide to your
area. Delay spring sowing until you have consistent warm
weather. If you have irrigation then seed can be sown
all summer too. Autumn sown seeds will over-winter
as a green sward and then burst forth for early spring
flowering.
Wildflower seeds will germinate and grow when
soil and air conditions are warm and airy. Generally
speaking they need at least 15 degrees centigrade
consistent day temperatures at soil surface. Prolonged
cold wet conditions below this will significantly affect
germination. Heavy clays can take longer to warm up
than sandy loams.

A site preparation regime for getting a weedy or
grassy area ready would be:
• spray off with glyphosate (Roundup, Weedout) and
allow to die off * see note below
• if dead grass is long, then cut and remove debris
• lightly cultivate the soil surface to a MAXIMUM depth
of 50 mm (sandy loams) or 100 mm (clays). Avoid
deep cultivation as this releases dormant weed seeds.
• allow weeds to colonise area again to a green sward
• spray again and allow to die down
• lightly cultivate soil surface again prior to sowing to a
good, fine crumb structure.
Organic Methods
There are a number of organic herbicides (e.g. Interceptor
and Greenscape) available on the market—check your
local retailer. Alternatives to herbicide sprays are burning
off weeds with a flame gun, salt spray, boiling water or
overlaying mown areas with a weed free mulch of 50 mm
plus. Otherwise, lightly cultivate the soil surface several
times to remove weeds, allowing them dry out on the soil
surface each time.
a hand held fertiliser spreader is ideal. A very low NPK
granular fertiliser (6N 6P 6K) is also an excellent median
to use as a spreader/carrier agent to mix with the seed at
sowing time.
at the start of cleanup before sowing).
Then mow or mulch the whole bed to a fine trash.
If the soil surface has hardened off again, lightly cultivate to
break this cap to encourage new seedling growth.
Ensure the seed is well mixed then broadcast as evenly as
possible over the prepared area. Lightly rake or water the
seed into the soil. The seed should never be covered any
deeper than 2-3 mm as this could inhibit germination.
More fresh seeds may be required until the area becomes
self-perpetuating. For best effect sowing up to 50% of
the original amount is recommended, especially if there
has been a weed problem. Gently rake new seed into the
clean wildflower bed. Some species may become more
dominant than others due to local climates and conditions.
Experiment to see what will work best for you.
Aftercare
Like any other seed wildflowers require ample moisture for
the first 4-6 weeks to germinate and establish. They can
then usually survive with minimum rainfall but additional
water in dry periods will encourage more flowers. Major
weeds that reappear can to be hoed or spot sprayed in their
early stages. Flowering should begin within about 8-10
weeks from a spring or summer sowing.

seeds we can find worldwide. Our seed is imported through
strict biosecurity regulations so we offer weed-free and
fresh seed that has no danger of becoming noxious. We

Wildflowers can be grown
wherever you can stretch
your imagination, from large
meadows to small garden
corners. They add a natural look
to landscapes and require little
effort to grow. All wildflower
seeds can be sown direct into
the garden, no seed trays, no
transplanting. How easy is that?
Sow them individually or choose
from our glorious mixtures.
Wildflower meadows will
bring to you an exceptionally
attractive palate of colours that
change week by week.
Wildflower
Mixtures
Growing wildflowers is so easy!
Size is not important, whether it is a small plot
of just a few square metres or a full blown field.
Our mixtures are tailored to suit a wide variety
of NZ conditions, from tough soils to fertile
home gardens. They will give you a natural floral
landscape in both urban and rural settings.
In season flowering can begin as soon as 8
weeks after sowing – then the journey begins
as one species finishes another blooms, working
up to a crescendo of colour in full season. The
bonus is fading flowers put down masses of
seed for the next generation.
Step by step instructions are included in each
packet. Species in any mixture may alter slightly
depending on the availability of seed. Prices are
inclusive of GST.
How much seed do I need?
Recommended sowing rate is one gram
per square metre. Starting at just $0.35 per
square metre for large areas, nothing matches
wildflowers for the most cost effective form of
gardening.
Larger sizes than those listed are always
available– please contact us with your
requirements.

Plant wildflower seeds in
your garden or patio pots to
provide essential nutrition
for bees. Bees are vital for
the pollination of many
flowers. This mixture has
been composed of flowers
that are proven bee favourites
in our gardens. Bees will
forage on these flowers for
nectar and pollen which
provide carbohydrates and
protein for growth and
energy. Well-nourished
bees are more capable of
fending off disease and
parasites. It is easy to carry
out pollinator conservation.
You can preserve and build a
safe bee habitat by reducing
insecticide spraying and
plant flowers that provide
nutrition. Mix contains a
range of colourful flowers
that will brighten any garden.
