How to Sow Wildflower Seed Mixes
Prepare the site by removing weeds and existing vegetation.
Mix the seed with sand for even distribution.
Broadcast the seed evenly across the soil at the recommended rate (3g per m²).
Firm the seedbed using a roller or by walking on the area to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Water regularly until seeds are established. Wildflowers can be drought-tolerant once they are growing strongly.
Avoid fertilising, as wildflowers prefer poor, nutrient-deficient soils.
