Establishing Wildflowers
Rake the area to form grooves.
Broadcast seed with shaker or cyclone seeder per recommended seeding rate.
Lightly rake over the area to ensure proper soil/seed contact.
Early spring is the best time to plant, but dormant seeding is also an option. Late summer seeding should be 8-9 weeks before the first frost.
A non-competing companion grass such as sheep fescue or hard fescue will bulk up the mix for easier application. It will help stabilize the soil until wildflowers become established and decrease annual weed competition. Use 4 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. with the wildflower mix.
Maintenance: Established wildflowers do not require a lot of maintenance. If natural rainfall does not occur, watering will aid in germination and establishment. Mow the area in the fall. This will make the area neater, and spread the seeds of the annuals for germination in the fallowing year.
