Wildflower Seeds

Sow outdoors, March to May and August to October, where they are to flower, 0.5cm (¼in) deep, directly into finely prepared, well-drained soil that has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14 to 28 days. Thin seedlings as necessary to allow development. Water well until plants are established.

For a continuous display of annuals, make sowings at two- to three-week intervals. Sowings made in curves, rather than straight lines, often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings.
