When to Plant Wildflower Seeds

Wildflower seeds can usually be planted in fall or spring, depending on your climate.

Fall planting allows seeds to experience natural winter conditions that help some varieties germinate.

Spring planting should be done after the danger of frost has passed and soil has begun to warm.

Choose a location that receives several hours of sunlight each day for best results.

How to Plant

1. Choose a sunny outdoor location with well-drained soil

2. Remove weeds and loosen the top layer of soil

3. Scatter seeds evenly over the soil surface

4. Lightly press seeds into the soil without burying deeply

5. Water gently after planting

6. Keep soil lightly moist until seedlings appear

Many wildflower seeds need light to germinate, so they should not be planted too deep.

Wildflowers grow best when planted directly outdoors rather than started indoors.

Growing Tips

Wildflowers grow best in areas with plenty of sunlight.
Avoid heavy fertilizing, as many wildflowers prefer average soil.

Water during early growth, then reduce watering once plants are established.

Annual flowers may bloom the first year, while some perennials may take longer to fully establish.

Allow flowers to go to seed at the end of the season if you would like them to reseed naturally.

Growing in Containers

Wildflower mixes can be grown in containers, but results may vary depending on pot size and sunlight.

• Use a container with drainage holes

• Use regular potting soil
  Place in full sun

• Water regularly while plants are young

Larger containers will produce better results than very small pots.
