Planting guidelines:
Our wildflowers are best planted in the fall in the deep south to allow
the perennials to become established. In other areas of the country
plant wildflowers in the spring. Prepare soil or ground by first mowing area low, then apply a burndown
herbicide, followed by a light disking. Distribute seed mixed with a
carrier onto the soil surface and cultipack or use a no-till drill and
plant at a depth of 1/4 " if possible. Water area until seed germinate
for best results. Nitrogen is not recommended at planting due to
promotion of weeds; phosphate and potassium are beneficial and can be
added at planting. Soil test pH should be adjusted to 5.8-6.2.
