Time to Plant the Seeds!

Hopefully you spent the summer preparing your space for planting and ordering the seeds. If you did then now is the time to get the seeds on the ground.

The most important tip to remember in planting wildflower seeds is: “Do not bury the seeds!” Wildflowers seeds in nature merely land on the top of the soil. Through the summer months they get dried out and might get covered lightly with soil. When the fall rains come some of the seeds will germinate right near the surface.

Good contact with the soil is the key, so some tamping or rolling of the area might be needed.

Remember each species will compete for space. Once you plant native species in a garden, you assume the role of nature. Like any other plant species you need to give each the room and opportunity to spread or climb depending on the species.

I have a list of the best references for planting wildflowers on my website at:
