Usage Instructions 

To get the best results, sow the wildflower seed mix in the early spring or the fall. Prepare the soil by removing weeds and lightly tilling the surface. Sow the seeds evenly and gently rake them into the soil or gently walk on them to press them down. Water thoroughly and keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate.

One great tip for broadcasting the seed is to mix some sand with it so you can see where you have tossed the seat and where you have not. Fall is the best time of the year to plant, as the seeds will go through a cold period, which is required for germination. You can plant in the spring, but some seeds will not sprout until the following spring. 

For best results, sow in early spring or fall. This mix thrives in full sun and dry to medium moisture soils.
