PLANTING: The Burst of Bloom Wildflower Seed Mix is suitable for all USDA Zones and can be successfully planted at various times throughout the growing season. Spring is the most conventional time of the year to sow flower seed, but successful results can also be achieved by planting in summer in cooler zones. Many gardeners plant perennial wildflowers in the fall to get a jump on spring blooms. PLANTING: Before beginning, make sure your dedicated area is in full sun. A general rule of thumb is “the more sun the better.” Minimal tree coverage and little obstruction from structures like a home or garage is best. Prepping the soil is simple: remove unwanted grass and growth, then loosen the soil to create the best environment. Now sow! Mix one part seed to five parts sand and distribute the mixture evenly. Finish up by lightly compressing seeds about ¼ to ½ inch to protect them. WHAT TO EXPECT: Because this mix contains both annuals and perennials, you’ll see blooms in your first season of planting. The annuals will pop, then the perennials will flourish the following season. This is normal! Perennial varieties usually show limited germination in their first season after planting, but will bloom to their full potential in the following growing season. You may also see some unwanted grasses pop up—these are wildflowers, not roses, so don’t worry if that happens. WHAT TO EXPECT: Care for your meadow by mowing it after the season ends. Remove brush left on top, and get ready for your next batch of blooms. This mix was created to include a range of varieties that bloom at slightly different times to give you the widest range of color for the longest season possible. You’ll see bright yellow, orange, red, purple, white and more. Most wildflowers will bloom in spring and summer, with some blooming in fall. Expect thick coverage with amazing results.
