It's time to plant wildflower seeds now for spring blooms.
Monarch butterflies pass through San Antonio in the fall during their return to Mexico, but fall also is the time to plant wildflowers in preparation for the monarchs' spring migration., including Salvia coccinea, violet ruellia, and frogfruit, but fall also is the time to plant wildflower seeds to bloom in the spring.
Salvia coccinea made a presence this summer despite the exceptionally hot, dry weather, but the low-growing steady blooming frogfruit with milky white blooms made even a bigger impression. Frogfruit seems to have welcomed the dry soil as an opportunity to spread over parts of landcapes, producing a thicker cover if it received irrigation or rainwater. Frogfruit is a favorite nectar source for bumble bees and, most notably, the buckeye butterfly.
The weather has been tough on bluebonnet reproduction for several years, so gardeners are growing the showy plants as transplants to increase the seed production.While it is satisfying to recognize the wildflowers that are blooming now on their own, it is also important to recognize that fall is time to plant. Start by thinking about a wildflower seed mix with selections that are likely to grow well in this area, such as the Texas/Oklahoma mixture available from online suppliers.
