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

From disappointed to impressed

"I'm updating my review from 1 star to 5 stars. I planted these in the Spring of 2025 and got no germination. Turns out the soil was too rich. The clue was that the small amount of leftover seed that I just threw on top my clay soil, with no stomping or prep work at all, germinated! Tried again. Sowed my remaining seed on top of my soil around Thanksgiving Day 2025 and in mid-May 2026 the blooms started appearing. I'm very pleased with the results and at least for NE Ohio recommend sowing in late fall or early winter for easy and spectacular results."

— Bonnie V. (5/5)

Very Disappointed

"It's been 2. 5 months and there is zero germination of the red poppies for NE Ohio. These were sown during the first week of May and as directed on the package. I did some research and found another company with the exact same wildflower mixtures, exact! Don't know but, I'm guessing they use the same seed supplier as High Country. They had 50+ California red poppy reviews and the ones from 5-7 years ago were great, but the ones from 2 years ago were 1 star. I will be asking for a refund. The plants seen growing in the photo are preexisting or from the Midwest native wild flower mix which I will also be reviewing."

— OH B. (1/5)

Love the color

"Planted these in a flower bed where I've had difficulty getting other plants to prosper. Had lots of flowers, though the blooms were smaller and the stems more flimsy than I had hoped. I hope they'll reseed and come back stronger next year. #sweepstakes"

Absolutely Stunning!

"I spread the seeds onto our steep hillside in late winter, and they have been blooming for weeks with no sign of stopping."

— Susie (5/5)

Newbie Success

"So far so good! No more big box sites for seeds. Spent $50 for wildflowers last season, but received chicory & money plants. They were hideous! Excited for these sprouts. They are crowded, but that is my error. Didn't know this would happen if the sand mix wasn't used."

— Determined N. (5/5)

Awsome, overwhelmingly beautiful and abundant

"Used in a Natural Landscaping Design with Mexican Feather Grass ~ to simulate the cornfields in France"
