Best Planting Season:
Wildflowers can be planted in early spring or in late fall for dormant seeding. For spring planting, sow one month prior to the last hard freeze. For late fall planting, sow when freezing nighttime temperatures are consistent so seed stays dormant until spring.
Easy Planting Instructions:
- Prepare the soil: Remove weeds and grasses, then loosen only the top layer of soil for better seed-to-soil contact.
- Spread the seeds evenly: Divide seed into two or more batches and scatter each batch over the entire area to avoid uneven coverage.
- Cover lightly: Rake gently to snuggle seed into the top layer of soil. Cover only to about 1/8 inch, then press the soil down with your hands or a wide board. Use only a thin layer of mulch to hold moisture.
- Water regularly: Gently soak the area and maintain consistent moisture for 4 to 6 weeks. If irrigation is not practical, aim to plant when natural moisture is most reliable.
- Maintenance: Early seedlings can look like weeds. Wait until plants are recognizable or blooms appear before pulling weeds. Expect a strong annual display the first season, with perennials building strength into years two and three.
Growth Requirements:
Moisture must be present for germination.
Wildflower seeds often need light to germinate, so do not bury seed deeply.
For improved distribution in larger areas, you can mix seed with clean sand and use a spreader.
Special treatment instructions may be listed on individual packets.
This collection of seeds includes one packet of each species.
