How to plant your seeds
1. Ground Preparation
- Choose soil that isn’t very fertile and is free from weeds.
- First, get rid of all weeds and dig the soil to bury any remaining plant parts.
- Rake the soil to make it smooth.
- Press the soil down to make it firm.
2. Sowing
- Plant seeds in autumn or spring, but you can plant in other seasons if it’s warm and moist.
- Scatter the seeds on the surface. Mixing them with sand can help spread them evenly.
- Press the seeds into the soil with a roller or by walking over them, but don’t bury them.
- One packet of seeds can cover 2-4 square meters.
3. First Year Management
- Some plants will grow slowly, others grow fast and add colour.
- Cut down everything in mid to late summer to help the young plants grow.
- Keep cutting the grass until the end of March the next year.
- Remove any persistent weeds.
4. Management Once Established
- Let the plants grow without cutting from spring to late July or August to allow them to flower.
- After they flower, cut the grass down to about 50mm high.
- Leave the cuttings to dry and drop seeds for 1-7 days, then clear them away.
- Cut the regrown grass from late fall to winter to about 50mm high, and again in spring if necessary.
This makes it easy to manage your wildflowers successfully!
