Native plants and wildflowers are not synonymous. Gardeners who purchase seed packets of wildflowers and think they are planting a garden of care-free, native, perennial plants are probably going to be disappointed. A wildflower packet might have a few native plant seeds, but the vast majority of seeds are going to be something that blooms and has escaped domestication somewhere.
Many of the seeds in wildflower seed packets are annuals, which means they will grow and flower for one season. If the plants do not produce seeds or the seeds are not hardy in the gardener's hardiness zone, that’s the end of those plants. A wildflower planting can be a one-season wonder.
