Planting & Care

Step-by-Step Wildflower Seed Planting Instructions

  1. Check for your last frost date and plant after this has passed. Choose a
    spot on your property that gets 6 or more hours of direct sun a day unless you are planting seeds for shade.
  2. Prepare your soil by clearing the area of all existing growth. Simply dig up everything that is growing, turn the soil and rake the area flat. If this is an area that has never before been gardened, you may need to till the area up to remove growth.
  3. Mix the seeds with sand* for better visibility and scatter the seeds directly on top of the soil. If you are sowing a larger area, we recommend using a seed spreader; if not, you can sow by hand.
  4. We recommend lightly compressing the seeds into the soil, making sure not to bury them. You can either walk on them, use a board or if you are sowing a larger area, rent a seed roller.
  5. Water so that the soil is moist, not soaking wet, until the seedlings are about 4-6" tall. After that, the seedlings will survive on natural rains. If you are experiencing very dry weather, we recommend watering occasionally.

Lovely colors, bright and showy.

"I have grown these for years. Easy to grow and maintain, they spread nicely from seeds and plant."

— Cricket (5/5)

I would buy this product again

"We mixed these coreopsis seeds with a prairie grass seed mix and planted them last Spring (2018). This Sring (2019) they appeared en masse! Beautiful, hardy, vibrant, flower that covered an area 25'x35' from June thru October. The deer ignored them. They also lasted a long time when cut and placed indoors. A great carefree choice."

— TripleL (5/5)
