- To plant the English Meadow Wild Flower Seed Mixture, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil, ensuring minimal shade and weed-free conditions. Sow the seeds at the recommended rate of 1g/m2 (or 3-5g/m2 for Colour Boost mixtures) in the spring, avoiding late frosts. Consider using the Rehofix MK1500 corn skin granule for precise and even sowing. This wildflower mix offers a quick and vibrant annual display, thriving from 8 weeks after sowing until the first frosts, enhancing your outdoor space with a stunning floral showcase and supporting biodiversity.
- After sowing your wildflower seeds, provide consistent moisture to the soil until the seeds germinate. Once sprouted, gradually reduce watering frequency, allowing the plants to adapt to natural conditions. Regularly monitor for weeds and remove them to prevent competition for resources. Consider a light application of a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season, but avoid excessive fertilization. Allow the wildflowers to complete their natural lifecycle, including seed production, to support future growth. Enjoy the vibrant blooms, and if needed, provide additional water during dry spells. Encourage biodiversity by letting some areas go untouched, allowing a variety of plants to thrive. Adjust care based on specific wildflower varieties and local climate conditions.
