PLANTING GUIDE: WILDFLOWERS
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.
COLD STRATIFICATION
HOW TO COLD STRATIFY
SEEDS
Everyone wants plants.
Now. But there are a small group of seeds that require a special treatment
before they will even germinate in a climate that has temperatures below
freezing. This process is called “Cold Stratification.” There are two ways to
accomplish this.
Fall Planting
If time is not a
problem, you can put them in the ground in fall and let them go through a
winter. They will sprout next year, but not flower. The following year, having
gone through two winters, they will return and bloom as expected.
If you are planting
poppies direct sowing is recommended in late fall or early spring for zones 2-8
Create a "False
Winter"
The second way to do
this, if you want to save time, is to create a “false winter.” What this does is trick the seeds into
thinking they have been in the ground for an entire year. All they need is to be in your refrigerator
for at least 2 ½ months.
About 3 months before
spring, place seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of slightly dampened, clean
peat, paper towel, or a mix of clean peat and sand.
Seal and label the bag
with seed name and date, then store in the refrigerator (not freezer) for at
least 2½ mos. before planting in spring. (The cold period mimics a full
winter’s cold.)
Once your seed has been
treated, it’s ready to plant when spring arrives.
SEED STORING
Store your seeds in a
cool, dry and dark location.
Most seeds have a long shelf life at least two years, but heat and moisture
will cut that life short.
Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house
your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing.
