Native Biennial Wildflowers

Below is our selection of native biennial wildflowers. Here biennial wildflowers refer to flowering plants that have a two-year growth cycle. Biennial plant growth begins with seeds that produce the root structure, stems, and leaves during the first growing season. A short stem and low basal rosette of leaves form and remain through the winter months. During the biennial's second season, the biennial plant growth completes with the formation of flowers, fruit, and seeds. At the end of this second season, the plant will disperse its seeds and die. We typically sell biennials at the end of their first season so that they can become established over the winter and then ready to bloom the following season.
