What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Perennial wildflower seeds benefit from proper soil preparation and cold stratification for uniform emergence.
-
Best Sowing Windows:
-
Late Fall (Mid-Sept. – Late Oct.): Highly recommended. Natural winter freeze-and-thaw cycles stratify dormant seeds over winter for robust spring growth.
-
Early Spring (Late March – Early April): Provides a brief natural cold period prior to soil warming.
-
Late Spring (Early May – Mid-June): Direct sow once soil warms up following spring frosts.
-
-
Site Preparation: Thoroughly clear the area of weeds. Loosen the top 2.5 cm of soil using a rake, cultivator, or hoe—seedlings establish much better in loose, well-drained soil than in compacted topsoil.
-
Sowing: Broadcast seeds evenly over the prepared seedbed. Mixing smaller seeds with dry sand helps ensure even distribution. Rain, snow, and frost-heaving will naturally work the seeds into the soil.
-
Maintenance: Irrigate throughout the first growing season as needed while root systems establish.
