- How To Start Your Flowering Lawn Journey -- No need to remove grass; simply mow existing grass very short, spread the flowering lawn seed evenly, water, and watch it grow!
- Better For Your Family & The Environment -- Purple Prairie Clover is native and supports beneficial pollinators while reducing your property's carbon footprint!
- Reduce Maintenance Costs -- Purple Prairie Clover does not require long-term maintenance. Once it is established, it won't require watering, except in periods of extended drought.
- What To Expect When Using Flawn Seed -- With regular watering, Purple Prairie Clover will germinate in 2-3 weeks, and plants will be small for the first couple of months. After the first growing season, it will bloom purple cone shaped flowers about 12-24” in the middle of summer creating a vital nectar and pollen source for our friendly pollinators. Watering regularly after seeding and through dry periods is recommended for success.
- Pure Flower Seeds -- Unlike other brands, Flawn Seed doesn't use fillers. Flowering seeds have longer germination periods and mature slower than grasses. Mature flowering plants with many blooms can take up to 6-24 months to fully establish, especially in tougher growing environments.
Seeding Information:
When to Seed: Spring, late summer, or early fall when rains are frequent and temperatures are moderate. Do not seed if a frost is forecast. Can also be dormant seeded on frozen ground.
Site Preparation: Mow at .5-1", remove clippings and rake any additional thatch. The soil must be visible and loosened up before seeding or seed will likely not grow.
Watering: Lightly water after seeding to start germination process. Prevent soil from completely drying out for a period of 1-2 weeks, then water as needed if seedlings start wilting.
Mowing: Maintain a height of 3" for the first year. This prevents the grass and any weeds from crowding out the baby Flawn seedlings.
Fertilizer: For lawns that have not been fertilized recently it may be beneficial to apply a low nitrogen organic fertilizer 2-3 months after seeding such as a 8-0-4 or similar.
Weed Control: It is best to remove excessive weeds by hand or natural methods before seeding. After seeding, remove unwanted weeds as desired. WARNING: Do not broadcast apply weed killers as they will kill the plants.
