    1. Pick the right time to sow

      • Cold-winter zones: Sow in spring after frost or fall after a hard freeze.

      • Warm-winter zones: Winter-sow in January–February before rains.

      • Soil temp should be 55–70°F for germination.

    2. Prep your planting area
      Remove weeds and grasses, then lightly rake or loosen the top 1–2" of soil. Avoid deep tilling.

    3. Mix & spread seeds evenly
      Blend seeds with 4–8 parts dry sand for even coverage. Broadcast half east–west, half north–south. Avoid overseeding — wildflowers need space to thrive.

    4. Press seeds into soil (don’t cover!)
      Walk over small areas or press down with cardboard to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Wildflower seeds need light to germinate.

    5. Water & wait
      Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings reach 4–6" tall, then water weekly if rainfall is low.

      • Annuals bloom the first year.

      • Perennials return and bloom in years 2–3.
