What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Proper timing and site preparation will ensure a dense, low-growing carpet of blooms.
-
Best Sowing Windows:
-
Late Fall (Mid-Sept. – Mid-Nov.): Ideal window. Allows seeds to stratify naturally over winter for uniform spring germination.
-
Early Spring (Late March – Early April): Provides a natural cold period to wake dormant seeds before warm weather arrives.
-
-
Site Preparation: Thoroughly clear existing weeds. Loosen the top 2.5 cm of soil using a rake, cultivator, or hoe to create a loose, well-drained seedbed.
-
Sowing: Broadcast seeds evenly over the area. Mixing smaller seeds with dry sand helps ensure uniform distribution. Rain, snow, and natural frost-heaving will gently settle the seed into the soil.
-
Maintenance: Irrigate as needed throughout the first growing season while seedlings establish deep roots.
