How to Sow and Plant
+
Sow the wildflower mix broadly outdoors from March to the end of June, using 2-3 grams per square meter for an even spread. Choose verges, grass edges, embankments, or ditch banks as planting sites. Sow directly into prepared soil, either in rows or scattered, and thin out seedlings if necessary to prevent overcrowding. Ensure the soil surface remains lightly firmed after sowing to promote good seed-to-soil contact. This mix thrives in natural outdoor conditions and will establish a vibrant, colorful display from June through October.
To maintain vibrant growth, ensure the wildflower mix receives ample sunlight and moderate watering, especially during dry spells. Avoid over-fertilizing, as these flowers thrive in nutrient-poor soils typical of verges and grass edges. Periodic cutting back after flowering encourages renewed blooms and prevents the area from becoming overgrown. Allow natural seeding to support ongoing biodiversity, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This resilient mix adapts well to roadside conditions, providing continuous color from early summer to autumn while enhancing ecological balance in your outdoor space.
