How do I start a Wild Flower Garden?
Wild flowers grow in different areas of shade or sun depending on where they originated in the wild. Many wildflowers have specific needs regarding soil, light and moisture. In some cases, the conditions can be changed to create more favorable growing conditions, but in the long run, it is always easier to select wildflowers that are suited for the existing location. Planting flowers that are native to your area makes growing them easier, too. http://www.enviro-explorers.com/wildflow… http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC1… Coneflowers, Black-eyed-Susans, Liatris, etc like a lot of sun. The best plants for the more heavily shaded areas to partially shaded are those found in the woods in their native habitat, such as Violets, Bluebells, Lilies of the Valley, & Wild Ginger.
