Wildflower establishment requires some important steps:

Site selection/preparation:

• It’s important to address competition from weeds: pull, till, or use organic herbicides.
• If planting in the spring/summer you can wait for weeds to germinate, control and then plant the wildflower seeds.

Seeding:

• You will want to have good seed to soil contact, broadcasting by hand is a good approach on small plot, may want to mix with an inert carrier, sand or other.
• Raking in and covering with soil 2-3 times seed thickness.

Watering:

• During establishment for the first month, can be from rain in spring or supplement with irrigation.

Timing:

• The best time to plant is in spring to early summer and even again in late fall.
