Short Meadow 
																	:  
																	The Short 
																	Meadow 
																	Flower Mix 
																	exhibits a 
																	rainbow of 
																	color 
																	starting in 
																	the spring 
																	and 
																	continuing 
																	until fall. 
																	This mix of 
																	twenty-two 
																	annuals and 
																	perennials, 
																	none more 
																	than 24 
																	inches tall, 
																	is ideal for 
																	naturalizing 
																	sunny open 
																	areas, 
																	slopes, long 
																	borders, 
																	parking 
																	strips and 
																	cottage 
																	style 
																	gardens. Do 
																	you long for 
																	the look of 
																	a wildflower 
																	meadow, but 
																	need to 
																	plant 
																	something 
																	with a 
																	slightly 
																	manicured 
																	appearance? 
																	Short Meadow 
																	is just 
																	that, a 
																	collection 
																	of 
																	low-growing, 
																	hardy, 
																	adaptable 
																	flowering 
																	plants that 
																	will 
																	transform 
																	any sunny 
																	area where 
																	height is a 
																	factor. Some 
																	of the 
																	varieties 
																	included 
																	are, Baby 
																	Blue Eyes, 
																	Blue 
																	Pimpernel, 
																	California 
																	Blue Bell, 
																	California 
																	Poppy, Daisy 
																	African, 
																	Poppy 
																	Iceland, 
																	Verbena 
																	Moss, and 
																	Wallflower 
																	Siberian.
																	In cool 
																	climates 
																	plant in the 
																	spring, 1 to 
																	2 weeks 
																	before the 
																	last average 
																	frost date. 
																	In mild 
																	climates, 
																	sow seed 
																	during 
																	cooler 
																	months, 
																	generally 
																	October 
																	through 
																	March. Soil 
																	must be kept 
																	moist while 
																	the seeds 
																	are 
																	germinating 
																	and 
																	beginning to 
																	grow. Be 
																	sure to keep 
																	the weeds 
																	pulled so 
																	they do not 
																	compete with 
																	the flowers 
																	for water 
																	and sun.
