About Wildflower Gardens

The dream of a natural and beautiful wildflower meadow is an attainable goal but only with a bit of hard work and realistic expectations.

The first thing to understand is that when you look at those wild meadows, it has taken nature millennia to create them. You cannot expect to scratch the soil, scatter the seeds, and see a Monet painting emerge.

Getting your wildflower planting established will require as much planning, preparation and maintenance as any landscaping project. If you make no effort to prepare soil properly, apply seed, and maintain the site by weeding and watering, you are almost guaranteed to fail.

However, if you do take the time to baby your wildflower garden for a couple of years, and if your collect seeds and reseed your annuals, you will be rewarded with a sea of color for many years to come.

Planting

Start by preparing the site as you would for any new lawn or garden. Grass and weeds can quickly overgrow your flower seedlings.  Next loosen the soil and amend if required.

Sow seeds in the early spring as soon as you can work the soil.  Spread the seeds thinly and evenly and lightly rake in. Water and keep moist.

Once sown, your seeds require consistent moisture for the first three to four weeks.  This is a critical requirement in establishing your wildflower garden. Annuals varieties will typically germinate within one to two weeks with perennials taking up to three weeks. As the plants become established, they require less moisture to survive although they will bloom longer if you do water them.

Maintenance

Once established, your "meadow" will require only minimal maintenance.

Weed control, like in any garden, it critical. Keep up with removing weeds before they are allowed to reseed themselves.

As your flower seed pods mature, collect seeds to plant later to fill in bare spots.

In the fall, mow the area to about six inches tall. This will neaten up the area and help to distribute seeds more evenly.
