Planting Instructions
Starting wildflower seeds successfully depends on creating a well-prepared, weed-free planting area. Choose a sunny, well-drained spot, then clear turf (solarizing is a natural, effective option) or firm bare soil to ensure excellent seed-to-soil contact. Sow seeds at the right time, generally mid-September through mid-January depending on your region.
For even coverage, mix 1 part seed with 5–10 parts inert materials; sand, sawdust, or vermiculite. In the prepared area, broadcast the seed mixture. Press seeds gently into the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Surface sow only, do not bury. Water gently after sowing.
With proper preparation and timing, you’ll give your wildflower seeds the best chance to flourish.
