Sowing at the right time will allow the seeds the best seasonal climate conditions to germinate well. In most zones, wildflower seed sowing season is in the fall, from mid-September to late November is best. This may seem counter-intuitive because after all most of us plant our potted perennials in spring to grow and flower for us in the summer. However, most perennial wildflower mixes contain varieties and species that require a cold stratification period in order to germinate. Essentially, they need a hard winter to break their natural dormancy to begin germination. In USDA zones 1 – 3 where winter temps. can be too severe, sowing in early spring is best. In USDA zones 4 – 6 sowing most wildflower seed in fall is optimum. In USDA zones 7 – 11 sowing can be done from Sept. through December or even January depending on your specific micro-climate. Perennial Wildflowers Generally speaking, most perennial wildflower species are considered drought tolerant, but only after they have become well established, which is typically by their second season. It is good to understand, most spring and summer seasons will not provide enough rainfall events to make perennial wildflowers thrive. Supplemental irrigation is an important preparation factor that must be considered before seeding happens. WHERE TO PLANT WILDFLOWERS Though many wildflowers do tolerate some filtered shade, and a few actually thrive in it. The vast majority are definitely sun-lovers. Wildflowers will generally sprout in all but the most difficult conditions. This means that pampering your site with fertilizer or rich sod is not usually necessary. HOW TO PLANT WILDFLOWERS Clear the area and work the soil as best you can before planting your seeds. Don’t panic when some weeds sprout along with the flowers, this will happen when the soil is worked. We recommend mixing your seeds with sand – 5 parts sand to 1 part seeds. This allows for a more even distribution and also provides a convenient way to mark which portions of the site have been seeded and which have not. For a smaller area, you can hand-broadcast the seeds. For larger areas, we recommend a seed spreader to create a better cast of the seeds. After the seeds have been sown, lightly compress the seeds into the soil about 1/2″ to protect from birds and wind. HOW TO CARE FOR WILDFLOWERS Although Wildflowers are pretty easy to take care of, there are some steps to keep it looking beautiful. Regularly weed to ensure your wildflowers are getting the nutrients they need. Water your plants during dry spells. Deadhead blooms that are spend to encourage new growth WE SHIP FAST & FREE!
