Planting Instructions
How to Plant Southwest 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.

Great!
Planted these along a newly built hiking trail 2 years ago. Year one a good number of flowers appeared. However the second year it is absolutely stunning this spring. An abundance of flowers, with many more about to bloom. Makes getting out to this park in North Texas all that much more enjoyable.

Wildflowers
I have an apiary on my ranch and my goats eat most all of the wildflowers. So I have a fenced area with a small garden and orchard. I bought both this mix last fall and ran a plow around the inside of the fence and sprinkled these seeds in the furrow along with the Dry area mix. This spring I had a dense profusion of every kind of wildflower and the flowers lasted into July. We had a rainy spring and I'm sure that helped, but the mix worked wonderfully.
