No need to start these seeds indoors—wildflower seeds prefer to be directly sown in the garden in either spring or fall. Choose a planting site that has average well-draining soil and receives full sun—wildflowers can stand some shade, but the best blooming happens with six or more hours of direct sunlight. If you do have heavy shade or woodlands on your property, the Bachelor Button and Purple Coneflower in the Northeast Wildflower Seed Mix will thrive in less sunny conditions.
To sow wildflower seed mixes, simply scatter the wildflower seeds over the area, and gently press the seeds into the earth for some protection against the elements. You can mix your seeds with sand or use a seed spreader for more even coverage. If you’re not sure exactly how much seed you need to fill out your planting area, reference the Coverage tab for our recommendations.
Once you’ve sown your wildflower seeds, carefully water the seeds in and within a week or so your seeds will sprout! Wildflowers are low-maintenance plants that require little care other than the occasional watering or weeding. Once your plants start budding out, feel free to pick all the flowers you can! The more you pick, the more wildflowers will produce and the longer they’ll bloom.
