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. Wildflowers at 2016 Tauranga s Garden & Art Festival 2016 Wildflower World Who are We?

3 5 Reasons to Grow Wildflowers This Year 1. Wildflowers 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. 3 New Zealand Bumblebee Conservation Trust Much Ado about Bumblebees Wildflower World continues in its quest to support a number of organisations whose missions are to be conscientious caretakers of our environment. They include Apiculture New Zealand, Moths & Butterflies of NZ Trust and the newly formed N Z Bumblebee Conservation Trust. The Bumblebee Trust continues to expand and educate the essential work of bumblebees and other pollinators in delivering to us essential food crops throughout the year in NZ But they still need your support. 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 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 Zonda is a foundation member of the N Z Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

4 4 Growing Guide for Wildflowers Mixed Cornflowers see page 24 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. Where 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 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. Climate\When to Sow 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. 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. Zone 3. October-December. March & April Zone 4. November - December. March to Early April Zone 1. Late August- December. March to Mid May Zone 2. Late September - December. March & April

5 5 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. Sowing Seed For an even distribution mix seed with a carrier agent. Use at least parts of a coarse material such as dry river sand or pumice (even potting mix) to 1 part of seed. Lightly coloured sand or pumice shows up well on dark soil and helps to show which areas you have sown! Make sure the carrier agent is dry for easier spreading. For larger areas 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. 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. 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. After Flowering Cleanup Once flowering has finished and the plants look a bit untidy then the area can be trimmed or mown down. If there are not many weeds in the area then cut everything down and leave the trimmings on the ground to drop their seed for next season. Pull, hoe or spot spray any weeds. A light cultivation or rake over is recommended to encourage reseeding. If lots of weeds have crept in then spray the whole area immediately before any new wildflower growth (as you did 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. 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.

32 32 Garden Flower Varieties These flowers have been bred or selected for their excellence in colour, form or fragrance. Most have been chosen for their ease to grow, many are descendants from our wildflowers. They may require just a little more help to get them growing before they burst forth with powerful colour. Hollyhocks Growing Seed is Easy Most garden flower seeds are best started indoors in trays or pots using the following steps. Sow from early Spring to Autumn. Don t sow in cold winter conditions. Fill trays with potting or seed raising mix to rim, lightly firm and moisten. Sprinkle seeds thinly. Cover larger seeds with a layer of mix twice the seed size. Don t cover fine seed. Gently water. Place in a propagator or cover trays with a plastic bag to retain moisture and keep an even temperature. Put in light airy place out of direct sunlight. Remove bag when seeds have germinated.
