How to Plant Bird and Butterfly Mix
When to Plant Wildflowers
For Spring planting, it is best carried out within a month or so after the final frost of the winter season. It is important to not plant too early; if seeds are installed prior to a late-season frost, they will be lost for the season and will need to be are-seeded.
For Fall planting, make sure you plant the seeds after the first killing frost to eliminate any chance of germination. Planting in the Fall gives you a jump start on Spring blooms
Where to Plant Wildflowers
Though many wildflowers do tolerate some filtered shade, and a few actually thrive in it. The vast majority are definitely sun-lovers. Wildflowers will generally sprout in all but the most difficult conditions. This means that pampering your site with fertilizer or rich sod is not usually necessary.
How to Plant Wildflowers
Clear the area and work the soil as best you can before planting your seeds. Don't panic when some weeds sprout along with the flowers, this will happen when the soil is worked.
We recommend mixing your seeds with sand - 5 parts sand to 1 part seeds. This allows for a more even distribution and also provides a convenient way to mark which portions of the site have been seeded and which have not. For a smaller area, you can hand-broadcast the seeds. For larger areas, we recommend a seed spreader to create a better cast of the seeds.
After the seeds have been sown, lightly compress the seeds into the soil about 1/2" to protect from birds and wind.
How to Care for Wildflowers
Although Wildflowers are pretty easy to take care of, there are some steps to keep it looking beautiful. Regularly weed to ensure your wildflowers are getting the nutrients they need. Water your plants during dry spells. Deadhead blooms that are spend to encourage new growth.

First year, amazing blooms
I planted these along the length of my house with a western exposure in NE Florida. This is an area where weeds like to grow and the grass gets rather soggy under the eaves. I was so happy with the first blooms. One of these plants grew to 7 ft tall. But the bulk of them were 3-4 ft tall and some smaller varieties that were close to the ground. I loved it and so did the bees and butterflies. I can't wait to see what perennials bloom next year.

I love them !!!
I bought seeds a couple years ago right before i lost my leg so they sat in a cupboard for a year. I really didn't expect to get as much as one plant. I have a drainage ditch in my back yard that has a bunch of cattail that i actually like and now there is 3 feet of wild flower before it. Who says you can't make a drainage ditch beautiful...
