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.

Nothing but standard yellow and light yellow bloomed

"I was a little bummed that I only had the standard sunflower yellow and the light yellow blooms, but they were still lovely. The plants were about 8' tall so they would make a great privacy screen if you need that. I had so much fun watching the birds and the squirrels eat the seeds this fall. I had a larger variety of birds too, this year. I will certainly be planting sunflowers every year. Warning - you may want to cover your seeds until they sprout, or start them in biodegradable pots inside. I had to re-seed twice because the birds/squirrels ate the seeds."
