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.

Reviews

Purchased 1/4 lb and obtained 1 flower

"I purchased 1/4 lb of the blanket flower seeds and obtained one flower. They have poor germination and low quality seeds. I even purchased 1 and 1/4 lbs of their Maximillian sunflowers seeds and obtained 5 flowers. I have spent over $100 dollars for lots of hard work on my end and very little flowers. I have purchased potted flowers from them in the past and also had poor success from their plants. Their plants and seeds really struggle. . I had high hopes for this company after realizing that their public store was closing in Santa Fe. I do not recommend this company to anyone."
