  1. As there are hundreds/thousands of seeds in each pack, we are unable to guarantee the exact mix of seeds nor the ratio of seeds in each mix.
    What we can assure our customers is that we always aim to provide a good mix of wildflower seeds, with no grasses bulking out the mix.
  2. Choose where you would like to grow your Wild Flowers
  3. Rake the surface of the ground to about 1cm depth
  4. Shake the packet well
  5. Make sure that you don’t sprinkle the seeds too close together
  6. Sprinkle the seeds evenly and then immediately water
  7. Cover the seeds over to avoid them spoiling or being taken by birds and other wildlife
  8. Continue to water but only lightly
  9. Be patient and after 4 to 8 weeks you will start to see the fruits of your labour
  10. Remember the colder it is the slower the germination process will be
  11. Bear in mind that initially there will be lots of green leaves whilst the seeds grow and establish into young flowers. *Patience is key at this stage.
  12. The seed rate for annuals is 2 grams to the sq metre. For wild flower perennials, it is 1.5 grams. As the seeds are a mixture of both, 2 grams per meter would be suitable.
