Cultural information for 100% wild flower mixtures

• For Mixtures that do not contain grass seed, they are intended to be sown without grass into cultivated ground to create ornamental beds of wild flowers only. They cannot be sown into existing grass.

• In general, wild flowers respond well to fertile ground and to being fertilized like any other garden flowers. But grasses and weeds thrive on fertile soils and may adversely affect seed germination, establishment and subsequent growth.

• 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).

• Carefully prepare a fine, weed free seed bed. Take care to sow the seed evenly. Thoroughly mixing one part seed with nine parts dry sand (silica sand) makes it more easily distributed.

• Rake the seed in lightly with a spring tined rake and firm 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 cultural information should be used as a guide only as climatic conditions vary, I have found a number of different sowing techniques for the same seed from different sources there does not seem to be a standard. With this in mind you should use this website as a guide only, you probably already have a tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a rule of thumb the larger the seed size the more cover it requires, and fine seed requires no cover.
