PLANTING: This 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 to sow flower seed, but successful results can be achieved by planting in summer in cooler zones. Many gardeners plant wildflowers in the fall to get a jump on spring blooms. PLANTING: Before you begin, 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 other 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. Lightly compress seeds about ¼ to ½ inch to protect them. Sit back and enjoy! WHAT TO EXPECT: Because this mix contains annuals and perennials, you’ll get to 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. WHAT TO EXPECT: Care for your meadow by mowing it after the season. 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 will not only attract pollinators, but will bloom at slightly different times. You’ll see bright yellow, orange, red, purple, white and nearly every color. Most wildflowers will bloom in spring and summer, while some varieties will bloom into fall. You can expect thick coverage with amazing results.
