Last week my landscaper mowed down the mostly perennial, but a few annual wildflowers I was growing from seed. The landscape thought they were weeds because they were mostly not flowering yet (and there were a few weeds in there as well). So now what do I do? I have been watering it every day to see if I can grow some of the plants back. I put a lot of seed down, I hope something will last.

    I don’t know. I bought a huge amount of a varied seed mix and threw it all down. Unfortunately, the plants were mowed all the way to the ground with little stalk left even.

      Hard to say without knowing which flowers. I can say from experience that California Poppies, buttercups, chamomile, vetch and salvias will come back after mowing. They will be shorter though- they learn and try to avoid the mower. If you’re in a zone with mild, late winters you can probably start new seeds now, if you can keep watering daily.
