Wildflower plants are also divided into perennial and annual flower seeds. The difference between the two is that perennial wildflowers can live as long as several years without any replanting effort, making it an attractive choice among gardeners who prefer little workload in their garden. Since it is a wildflower plant, perennial wildflowers can actually be grown any time of the year by the gardener's preference. But it is known that the growth calendar for the perennial wildflower illustrates that the best time to start is during spring season. If planted during spring then they have a better chance to survive the cold season when winter comes since they would have grown already by then. As for annual wildflowers they can be planted at any time of the year also, but their growth rate would at their best when planted during spring and fall time of the year. When winter comes the seeds would go dormant waiting for better conditions to come, and they will start germinating when spring time finally arrives.

Wildflower varieties will vary by region and climate. They come in both perennial flower seeds and annual varieties, making it easy to find one that suits the garden and the gardener. When planting perennial wildflower seeds, the best time of year for them to take root is during the spring. When wildflower seeds have the spring, summer and fall to grow, they are more likely to be established enough to make it through the winter. This gives the plants several more years to live, making it unnecessary to replant them year after year. The spring and fall are both good times for planting annual flower seeds. Fall plantings mean the wildflower seeds will have the winter to germinate, going dormant before the spring warmth and rain cause them to grow.
