How to Sow Wildflower Seed Mixes
Prepare the site by clearing existing vegetation and weeds, especially in sandy, low-nutrient soils.
Mix seed with sand to ensure even distribution.
Sow evenly at the recommended rate (3g per m²), using a broadcast method.
Firm the seedbed by lightly rolling or treading to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist during the establishment period.
Avoid fertilising, as wildflowers prefer poor soils to thrive.
