First Life/Siberian Wallflower

Day 5

Well I am excited, I went out to my garden to water it, and I just saw the very first sign of life. Two little green things just starting to poke out a bit, so hopefully some of the others will start to come in soon as well. I will keep an eye out.

Siberian Wallflower

Siberian Wallflower is one of the most vibrant of orange/yellow flowers It is a short (18 inch) and very fragrant species that is striking in a wildflower meadow. The phlox-shaped flowers bloom in spring. In cold climates it may grow as a biennial, and should be planted in full sun. In moderate and warm climates it is a perennial that will enjoy a little shade. This beautiful addition to your wildflower meadow will attract bees

Biennial. Has two-year life cycle. Grows only leaves first season from seed. Then in second season, blooms, seeds and dies with first frost.

The name tells you this is a wildflower from cold climates, and it is naturally a biennial. However, in warmer places, it grows as a perennial, returning year after year. The plants are very easy to grow; simply scatter the seed in spring or fall on loosened soil, and compress into the dirt; do not cover.
