Dwarf Sulphur is featured on the front cover, and it grows to a height of just 20-30 inches. This mixture of yellow, gold and flowers is great for beds and borders wherever bright, sunny colors are desired, and it makes a delightful addition to seed mixtures.

Applewood has several new garden flower varieties this year. Two new annual sunflower varieties are ‘Lemon Queen’ and ‘Velvet Queen’. Both varieties are branching Sunflower 'Velvet Queen' and produce an abundance of 4-6 inch Marigold 'Petite Mix' flowers. Sunflowers make excellent cut flowers, and goldfinches love to feast on the seeds in late summer and fall

Also new is Marigold ‘Petite Mix’, which is a dwarf, crested variety consisting of orange, yellow, gold and bicolored flowers. Petite Mix is perfect for planting in masses, border edging, and container gardening. See pages 6-10 for complete descriptions of our new wildflowers and garden flowers.

Our featured species include Oriental Oriental Columbine Columbine (Aquilegia oxysepala), a lovely Pansy 'Swiss Giants' perennial that is native to Asia. It has deep plum and cream colored flowers, an unusual color among columbines.

Supplies are excellent this year for Pansy ‘Swiss Giants’, Sunflower ‘Autumn Beauty’, Cornflower Tall Mix, Chinese Pinks, and Zinnia ‘Lilliput Mix’. Swiss Giants have large, showy flowers and come in shades of blue, red, yellow, white, orange, burgundy, cream, violet and pink

Sunflower ‘Autumn Beauty’ is a taller, Sunflower 'Autumn Beauty' branching variety with flowers in autumn Cornflower, Tall Mix colors such as yellow, gold, rust, brown, orange and deep red.

Chinese Pinks are 12-16 inches tall and have mostly double flowers which are scented like carnations. Flowers occur as solid shades of pink, white, and red, or they are bicolored.

Zinnia ‘Lilliput Mix’ is a dainty, small flowered variety that grows 18-24 inches tall. The mix includes red, orange, yellow, violet, white, and pink. Chinese Pinks Zinnia 'Lilliput Mix'

The Key to a Successful Project

Follow these recommendations for a successful seeding project: 1. Start with high quality seed. Applewood’s production fields are managed by knowledgeable seed growers who maintain proper production and post-harvest cleaning techniques. Some species that are difficult to produce are obtained from experienced and knowledgeable collectors. All seed lots are tested for germination and purity to provide assurance that seed meets industry standards.

2. Analyze the project site to determine the most appropriate vegetation for the area. The species chosen should be matched to the geographical region as well as the site conditions of the project. Site conditions include the amount of sunlight, soil properties and pH. If help with seed selection is needed, Applewood’s sales staff can provide assistance.

3. Amend the soil if necessary. If you suspect the soil is poor, a soil test is recommended. Add a low- nitrogen fertilizer or organic matter if needed.

4. Eliminate unwanted vegetation and weeds. Aggressive weeds such as bindweed and Canada thistle should be sprayed with a general herbicide. Otherwise, tilling or plowing the area is effective.

5. Loosen soil by scraping, tilling or scarifying if soil is very compacted.

6. Sow seeds at the appropriate time of year and at the recommended planting rate. Seeding too heavily can result in crowded conditions and reduced diversity.

7. Provide supplemental irrigation if natural precipitation is inadequate for establishment and maintenance. Consistent moisture is critical during the first 4 to 6 weeks of seed germination and seedling growth.

8. Provide ongoing weed control, which is essential for good establishment the first year.

9. Evaluate the project periodically to assess the need for spot seeding, weeding and supplemental watering.

10. A regular maintenance program will enhance the establishment and performance of your seeding project and provide assurance that expectations are being met.

11. Please see our Planting and Cultural Information on pages 4-5 for detailed instructions and information on how to achieve success.

30 Quality Seed + Proper Techniques = Beautiful Flowers

To achieve success, follow the 11 steps outlined on the previous page in “The Key to A Successful Project”.
