Individual wild flower species Sowing time all year round
with best results sowing either March to early May, or from August to
September, for autumn establishment of most species). Most wild flowers can
easily be sown in one of two ways: Special treatment for wildflower seeds Scarification :- The germination of some seeds is
greatly improved by rubbing the seeds lightly between two sheets of sandpaper.
this enables the moisture in the soil to penetrate the seed coat. Stratification :- A number of seeds have to be
subjected to a period of cold during winter before germination takes place in
the spring. You can provide the period of cold by adding the seed to damp sand
and putting it in a plastic bag in the fridge for 6-8 weeks. Or sow them in a
cold frame in the autumn. Wild flower Mixtures © 2000 to 2012

fine seeds on the surface: lightly rake in larger seeds. After sowing the area
should be firmed to ensure the seed comes into contact with the moisture in
the soil. Water with a fine spray to avoid disturbing the surface of the soil.
Keep the area well watered and free from grass and weeds. As the seedlings
grow some thinning out will be necessary, especially with the more vigorous
species. Use the area as a source of plant material by transplanting to other
beds.

the end of the growing season.
