Mixed Wild Flower Seeds Planting Directions

Here’s 7 easy steps to grow wildflowers.

Find a spot with good sun and good drainage. It is recommended to find a spot that gets at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day, but more sun is better.

02. Determine the best wildflower(s) to plant

All Seedles do not contain neonicotinoids, are GMO-free and are native to that region.

Generally, the best times to plant wildflower seeds are just after the final winter frost (early spring) or in the late fall at least 10 weeks before the first frost. In nature, many wildflower seeds drop in the fall months before the rain and then wildflower seeds remain dormant until they are sufficiently watered and outside temperatures have warmed enough for germination.

After the optimum site is decided upon, it is essential to remove grass and weeds to give the wildflower seeds the best chance of sprouting. Depending on the size, this can be done with a garden hoe, shovel and rake, or with heavy machinery such as a roto-tiller for larger areas. Additionally, it is best for the soil to be loosened to give the seedlings the best chance to thrive.

The optimum spacing is going to depend on the mixture that is planted and the type of coverage you are desiring. Space seeds according to the directions on the packaging. For Seedles, each seedball can cover up to 1 square foot of space, but for a denser patch, place 3-4 Seedles per square foot.

Depending on size of the area, planting can be done by hand or by a seeder for larger jobs. To plant, place seed balls on the top of the soil and gently compress them into the soil using a roller or walking over the area. Planting Seedles is incredibly easy and they just need to be pushed halfway into prepared soil, so the top half is out of the soil, but the bottom half is nicely nestled into its fertile surroundings.

Proper amounts of water is essential for wildflower seeds to germinate. Seeds should be watered daily and soil should remain moist until the emerging seedlings are 4 to 6 inches tall. After that, watering can be done once or twice a week.
