PLANTING TIME

The best time to plant wildflowers is during the early spring when temperatures are cooler and the need for supplemental water is reduced. This spring planting allows the plants to fully establish before the hot, dry conditions of summer, plus it gives you a longer period of blooming. Dormant seeding in the late fall allowing the seed to overwinter in the soil until spring can also work well, especially if seeded with grasses.

SITE PREPARATION

Rake or till the site to loosen the top 2 inches of soil. Excess weeds or other undesirable vegetation should be removed to allow proper seed-to-soil contact. Wildflowers typically do not need soils with high fertility, but if a fertilizer is deemed necessary, use one that is low in nitrogen (5-10-10 ratio).

PLANTING METHODS

Because wildflower seed mixes contain seeds of many different sizes, blending an inert carrier like sand, potting soil, or vermiculite in a 2 to 1 ratio (sand to seed) will help to distribute the seed evenly over the site. For small areas, hand broadcasting the seed with the carrier works well. For larger areas, you may want to use a broadcast-type spreader. Once the seed has been broadcast, it must be covered by a light layer (1/8 to 1/4 inch maximum) of soil for proper germination to occur. This can be achieved by lightly raking the site for small areas or by using a drag or chain-link fence behind a tractor for large areas.

POST-PLANTING CARE

Applying a light layer (maximum 1/4 inch) of straw or other organic material on top of the seedbed greatly improves the chance of success, especially if no supplemental water is available. Mulching also helps protect the seed from blowing away or being eaten by rodents or birds.

WATERING

The planting must be kept moist for 4 to 6 weeks using supplemental watering if necessary. You should begin to see germination in 2 to 3 weeks and the first blooms in 6 to 10 weeks. Once established, adding supplemental water during the dry, hot time of the year will help the blooming period into the fall.
