What you need to know to Plant & Grow
This mixture includes a natural corn meal carrier to make broadcasting effortless and ensure even distribution across your seedbed.
-
Site Preparation: Choose a sunny location. Clear all weeds and lightly work the top 2.5 cm (1″) of soil to create a loose, welcoming seedbed.
-
Sowing: Shake the container thoroughly before use to evenly mix the seeds and carrier. Distribute the mixture evenly over the prepared area.
-
Establishment: Lightly rake the seed into the topsoil, then tamp down or roll the area gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
-
Watering: Keep the seedbed consistently moist throughout the 2-4 week germination period. Note that while annuals will bloom vigorously in the first season, some perennials will establish their root systems first and flower in their second year.
