In cool climates, spring or early summer is ideal, as temperatures are warm enough for germination but not too hot. Avoid planting in summer, as it can be difficult to keep the soil moist. In cool climates, fall planting is also an option, ensuring seeds do not germinate until spring. **Where to Plant:** Most wildflowers thrive in sunny conditions, though some tolerate filtered shade. They generally grow well in various conditions, so pampering the site with fertilizer or rich sod is usually unnecessary. **How to Plant:** Clear the area and work the soil before planting. Mixing seeds with sand (2 parts sand to 1 part seeds) ensures even distribution and helps mark seeded areas. For smaller areas, hand-broadcast the seeds and lightly compress them into the soil about 1/2" to protect from birds and wind. **Moisture Requirements:** Wildflower seeds need ample moisture to germinate and develop into healthy seedlings. Soak the planted areas thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture for 4-6 weeks. Afterward, gradually reduce watering over several weeks. In non-irrigated areas, plant in spring or before anticipated rainfall. **Caring for Wildflowers:** Regularly weed to ensure nutrients reach your wildflowers. Water during dry spells and deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth. **What to Expect:** Most wildflower seed mixes contain annual, biennial, and perennial species. Annuals provide quick ground cover and color in the first season, acting as a nurse crop for slower-growing perennials. Perennials and biennials typically bloom more profusely in the second season, leading to noticeable changes in the appearance of your wildflower garden after the first year.
