- Wildflowers will always perform best on ground that is not highly fertile as this will allow them to compete with background weeds. The correct ground preparation is essential for success. For a new display / sowing the seed bed needs to be cleared of all weeds by repeated cultivation or a herbicide and left for at least 2 weeks for newly exposed seeds to germination before repeating the process at least twice.
- The ground should be a medium tilth for sowing and tread down or rolled to provide a firm surface. Sowing is ideally undertaken when the soil is warm and moist in early autumn or spring ( Apr ? Jun). The seed must be surface sown evenly and sparingly (1-2 gram per square meter), avoid the temptation to over-sow. Seed can be mixed with fine white dry sand which ensures a better distribution and allows you to see where it has been scattered.
- Do not cover the seed but firm in with a roller or by treading to ensure good soil contact Once you have sown the mixture, it is very important to manage the growth for the ? first year, which includes weeding any aggressive species that appear. If sowing amongst established grass, autumn will be best, first cutting back close to the ground and scarifying to expose base soil.
- Cut the sward when the grass gets established and keep it down to help the new seeds to germinate. If sowing in the spring, again keep the grass low for the first growing season. Whenever you cut, it is vital to remove all the material after allowing any seeds to spread to ensure nutrients are not added back to the soil.
