When to Plant:
For areas that tend to
have little to no frost (Florida, Texas, California, etc..), wildflower can be
planted all year round except in the dead of summer. For areas that get a hard,
killing frost (Indiana, New York, Minnesota, etc..), wildflower should be
planted in spring, summer and fall. Most wildflower mixes unless otherwise
noted need at least 6 hours of sun to perform well. Full sun all day will give
best results.
Preparing the Soil:
Remove all vegetation
from the area where wildflower seed will be sowed. Remove any plants, till the
soil and rake the area flat. If soil is a hard, no draining clay soil then
compost should be added to help aid drainage.
Planting Wildflower:
Sand should be added to
wildflower mixes that do not have filler already mixed in. Sand will help
spread seeds better without clumps and can be seen better to aid in spreading.
with sand for better visibilty and scatter the seeds directly on top of the
soil. If you are sowing a larger area, we recommend using a seed spreader if
not, you can sow by hand. After the seeds has been spread out they should be
lighly compressing into the soil, making sure not to bury them but compressed
enough so rain and wind will not move. You can either walk on them, use a board
or if you are sowing a larger area, rent a seed roller.
Growing Wildflower:
It is important to keep
the soil moist until the seedlings are about 4-6″ tall. After that, the
seedlings will survive on natural rains. During dry weather the occasional
watering will help. Do not let soil dry out while they are seedlings are this
will kill the plants.
Caring for Wildflower:
Once a year the
wildflower meadow should be mowed over. Wait until late fall when all the
flowers have bloomed and dropped their seeds. Then with a weed trimmer, or a
mower set on a tallest setting, mow over the entire meadow of wildflower. This
will encourage strong growth in the spring without competing with dead old
foliage.
