Planting these suckas...
Preparation
- Pick a spot. Loosen the topsoil. Spread the seeds evenly. -
The best way to get an even spread is to add some sand to a bucket and mix in the seeds. This makes them easier to distribute evenly.
The planting area depends on how dense you would like your flowers. A garden an area of 5' by 5' to 10' by 10' would be ideal for the number of seeds in a single package. Two packs if you would like a denser growth. You can also split a pack between 1-3 medium sized planters. That will result in gorgeous dense bouquets.
If you're going for a natural field look, I would suggest combining multiple packages. Remember that these are perennials. They will come back thicker and more beautiful by the year.
Penetration
- Cast the seeds directly onto the surface and compress down. -
These seeds don't need to be covered by soil; in fact, they need sunlight to germinate. Broadcast sow seeds onto a moistened soils surface. Lightly tamp the area down so there is good soil contact with the seeds which encourages germination.
Don't stress about the depth, the topsoil or the area. Know that they are wildflower seeds. They are made to be able to find their way into the ground, germinate, and grow all by themselves.
Finale
- Water your seed babies lightly in spring. Compost your package. -
Water sparingly in spring encourage germination. Sometimes that's not needed as the ground is often already moist in spring. Just make sure the soil is damp, no monsoons. Some of these seeds are teeny tiny and can wash away. When the seedlings sprout, water as needed at that point; you don't want them to become reliant on much more water than the sky provides. Watch your babies grow and enjoy!
Our packages are 100% compostable. The glue on the inside is plant based. So, make sure to shred these packages up and feed them to your worms!
Don't Forget to Compost the Packages!
