Planting Instructions
How to Plant Midwest 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.

AMAZING
I bought this mix and spread it over a side lot I was tired of mowing and boy it is breathtaking and only the annuals have showed up for the first year. I wish I could add a picture because it really is amazing. It has attracted so many honey bees and the neighborhood can't stop commenting on how beautiful it is. Thanks for the showstopper eden brothers!

Excellent
We have handed out small packets of these seeds at several gatherings around the area. What a wonderful sight to faces light up and plans made for planting and requests for another one. Its heartwarming to observe the happiness and joy that handing a packet of seeds to a person creates. The seeds are prolific bloomers too!

Midwest Wildflower Seed Mix
Three years ago we planted about an acre of this mix. Every year they have bloomed but this year they are spectacular! We had over 30 large lupine plants and I think the coneflowers are finally going to bloom for the first time. I thought it was a bit expensive but now I see the value.

We purchased 20 lbs of in the spring 2015,for 1 acre of area.
The spring rains of southern Wisconsin have come & we had excellent germination. The area is currently in bloom with the annuals! Excellent mix, the overage seeding tip, per sq foot of land,worked great!
