Cultural information for 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:
1/ Broadcast directly onto a carefully prepared, weed free seed bed. Germinate 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.
2/ Sow into pots or trays of seed compost, place outdoors or in a sunny room. cold frame or cool greenhouse. Prick out and pot up into potting compost when large enough to handle. Pot grown plants develop excellent root systems which enable them to establish rapidly when planted out in their final position at the end of the growing season.

Special treatment for wild flower 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.
Species that benefit from this treatment are:- Burnet, Salad; Clovers; Crane's-bills; Liquorice Wild; Medic Black; Melilots; rock Rose; Restharrows; Trefoils; Vetches and other members of the pea family.

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.
Species that benefit from this technique are :- Bellflower clustered, Bluebell, Burnet-Saxifrage, Carrot Wild, Cowslip, Honeysuckle, Lords & Ladies, Mignonette, Ramsons, oxlip, Primrose, Violets, Weld and all Sedges.
