Thanks for the info … it’s not easy in my area because I constantly search for plants that can tolerate cold. And even when I do find seeds that can, I have to plan and do work for a year, two years or three years ahead.
For anyone else reading this here is where I get my seeds for northern Ontario wildflowers
I’ve only been trying for the past year or two and only meekly and I haven’t achieved any dramatic results yet. One thing I have done is to replace my dandelion infested grass lawn with white clover. The first planting was last summer and it turned out good but I am excited to see what will happen this year.
I have used Flawn which is based in Minnesota so a little further north. This shows the zones that the cover. I think they go down to 3.
Also Prairie Moon Nursery has sorting by zone which aren’t specially for lawns but ship bare root plants. They have good filters by zones and locations.
Wow … I’d love to be able to grow something like this but I’m up in northern Ontario. I think our growing area is a two or less.
What part of the country or region is this? So that we can know if we can do this or not.
It looks fantastic, good for you!
I found the website: https://ptlawnseed.com/products/fleur-de-lawn?variant=141703872
It looks like it’s made in Oregon and inspired by the flowers of New England. That would probably mean most suitable for zones 5-8 or so.
Here is a Canadian mix that says it’s suitable down to zone 3: https://ohcanadaseeds.ca/products/canadian-wildflower-seed-mix-19-annual-perennial-varieties-for-planting-in-canada
Same for this one: https://www.westcoastseeds.com/products/alternative-lawn-wildflower-mix
Zone 2 might be trickier to find.
