Aftercare

I’ve sown my wildflower seed in April / May (spring)

In August / September of the first year you have sown your wildflower seed, cut your wildflower sward to 7cm after flowering – you can do this by putting your mower on a high setting. In most cases remove clippings* (Note: a late spring sowing will result in late flowering). Do not be tempted fertilise or add top soil to this area – wildflowers prefer poor soil conditions, and this is how they should stay. Continue this same process, year after year. *If you have annual wildflowers in your mix and you do not wish them to return the following year, remove the clippings. If you want your wildflowers to return the following year - let them go to seed head, and manually assist their self-seeding by firming the seed heads into the soil. By doing this, your annuals will return the following year.

I’ve sown my wildflower seed in September / October (autumn)

In March / April of the first year of sowing your wildflower seed, make sure there is sufficient material to mow – your wildflowers / grasses should be at a height of 10cm. If your wildflowers are at this height, mow to 7cm no later than mid-April, as this will delay their blooming process. In August / September, after they have bloomed, cut your wildflower meadow again to 7cm, remove all clippings unless you want your annuals to return. If you wish for your annual wildflowers to make a reappearance the following spring, follow the process above by letting the seed heads drop into the soil, and give them a helping hand by firming them into the soil.

Questions & Answers

Product Questions

Hello, I've noted the best time to sow this seed is September (nature's sowing time of course!) But will I get reasonable results by sowing now in Spring?

Question by: Alison on 5 Mar 2018 10:41:00

We advise September as some wildflower seed need the coldness of winter to stratify in the soil so can 'wake up' for bloom in spring. However much of this process can occur in our winter storage so you may well see some if not all or some bloom this year and any left over the following year.

Answer by: Orla O'Hare (Admin) on 5 Mar 2018 10:47:00

What is best time to sow this?

Question by: Tina on 5 Feb 2017 20:00:00

Hi Tina,

I would suggest waiting until early April (you could sow before then if it gets warmer earlier in the year at your location as we need some heat to germinate the seed), I would also recommended getting the ground prepped (we have a few guides on this in the Help & Advice section).

Answer by: The Grass People (Admin) on 6 Feb 2017 10:57:00

Hello Grass People

I have a small unused raised flower bed about 3m x 5m and I’m not interested in gardening so I was hoping something like could answer my prayers? If this is an answer would it need mowing at all and could I get away with sowing it now and how do you sow stuff?

Thanks

Nick

Question by: Nick on 11 Feb 2019 20:57:00

Hi Nick,
Wildflowers are a great idea for those who prefer wilder flora! They are fairly low maintenance and actually thrive in poor soil conditions so they don't need much preening. Once you purchase our wildflower seed, there will be an instructional leaflet inside that tells you how to sow the seed and also has some aftercare tips. In short, you remove the top 5-10cm of soil, clear any debris or existing plants, spread the seed at a rate of 5g per m2, rake the seed until it is covered, water, and wait for the wildflowers to appear! Your wildflowers will only need mowed at the end of the summer after they have bloomed. I would recommend one of our mixes with grass in it, as the grass creates a nursery for the wildflowers and prevents weeds from popping up. Happy Sowing!

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 12 Feb 2019 09:54:00

I have ordered some shaded areas seeds and wondered is January an adequate time to sow ?

Question by: James on 24 Jan 2019 16:20:00

Hi James,
We always recommend that March (Spring) is the best time to sow any seed, wildflower or grass. The ground / soil temperature needs to be at least 8 - 10 degrees for the wildflowers to germinate. Hope this helps!

Can I sow wildflower seeds directly on to raked grass or would it need to be dug up?

Question by: Colin Brodie on 5 Mar 2019 11:06:00

Hi Colin,
We recommend that you remove the top 5-10cm of soil to reduce soil fertility before sowing your wildflower seed. Wildflowers will grow almost anywhere, but will thrive in poor soil conditions.

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 5 Mar 2019 13:40:00

What is the best way to sow your wild flower seeds to ensure an even coverage, the area I am hoping to develop is about 20m sq.

Question by: Geoff on 7 Jul 2019 17:02:00

Hi Geoff, we recommend 5g per m2. So 100g would be ideal for the size of area you are wishing to do. Simply scatter the seed, lengthways and widthways and judge each area where you think you may have missed / an area that needs more seeds. Firm down by foot and continue to water regularly

I want to plant some wildflower seed in a shaded area of my garden, probably in the next couple of weeks, will I see flowers this summer?

Question by: julie weller on 26 Mar 2019 15:46:00

Hi Julie, the annual wildflowers in this mix will show 60 - 80 days after sowing. The perennials will take slightly longer.

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 1 Apr 2019 09:19:00

I am planning a wildflower area beneath some apple trees and will probably go for the Shaded Area seed. Can you tell me how often and when this should be cut. I will be sowing next month (April).

Question by: Steven on 26 Mar 2019 08:42:00

Hi Steven, only cut your wildflower area at the end of summer and set your mower on a high setting. As this mix contains annuals and perennials, the perennials will come back next year. Annual wildflowers only have one flower showing in their life time year however as they go to seed head each autumn they drop seeds into the soil (self-seeding) for the following year. However this process is not perfect so you will get less flowers each year. You can manually assist this process by putting your mower on a high setting and cutting the wildflowers down then use a roller or your wellies to split the seed heads up allowing more seeds to get into the soil which will result in a full annual showing in the following year.

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 26 Mar 2019 09:13:00

Question by: Maggie on 26 Apr 2019 12:23:00

Answer by: Anna Crockard (Admin) on 30 May 2019 14:11:00

Is it too late to sow late October in the UK?

Question by: Jo Hill on 20 Oct 2018 16:50:00

Yes depending on your location and how warm things are. You can normally sow in October unless we get news of an early winter/colder autumn especially in southern areas of the UK.

Answer by: Chris McIlroy (Admin) on 23 Oct 2018 11:49:00

Hi I have removed existing lawn to find shallow soil and some building aggregate. The area is North facing, only a little direct sunlight but not deep shade. Could i sow seed directly into this environment or would i need to improve the soil/structure?

Question by: Helen Potts on 29 Aug 2019 09:45:00

Hi Helen, the first steps you have taken are great. We always recommend removing grass / existing lawn where you plan to sow wildflowers, as well as any debris. If you can remove the building aggregate and the top 5-10cm of soil to reduce the soil fertility, you will have an ideal area for sowing wildflowers.

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 29 Aug 2019 10:02:00

Hello,

I'm wondering if I sow this now (September) will the grass grow before winter or will the soil be bare over winter as the current grass will obviously need cutting back before sowing? I am very new to gardening!

I have inherited a garden with currently a lot of long grass that hasn't been mown often, however no wildflowers as it is mainly docks, weeds and lawn-type grasses, but this might provide shelter for some creatures so don't want to cut it right back if it will be bare for a long time?

Thanks!

Thanks,

Louise.

Question by: Louise Watson on 30 Aug 2019 12:21:00

If you sow your grass seed now there should be plenty of time to get good grow before the first frosts arrive. There will be some decent growth over the first week and this will fill out over the following weeks before the cold begins to take effect.

Answer by: Simon (Admin) on 2 Sep 2019 10:10:00

Hi, if I sow these in a raised bed, how often would they need watering? Thanks

Question by: Hailing on 3 Sep 2019 23:34:00

Hi Hailing, for the first six weeks we recommend watering for about 15 mins every couple of days - if you notice the ground dries up quickly, water more often than this. After the first few weeks the grass in this mix will start to grow up to create a nursery for the wildflowers. Once you are starting to see growth and after 6 weeks, you can let the rain take care of the watering!

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 4 Sep 2019 10:19:00

I'm just wondering what soil would be best for these? I have a shaded area but with chalky soil.

Question by: Sophie on 20 Aug 2019 12:10:00

Hi Sophie, all wildflowers prefer poor soil conditions, so if you were considering adding another type of soil to offset your chalky soils, this may not help things if it is particularly fertile. We recommend removing the top 5-10cm of soil before sowing to reduce soil fertility and this may also help improve the condition of your chalky soils.

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 20 Aug 2019 14:01:00

Hi, I have just ordered these seeds. I am seeding a new lawn and want the wildflower seeds for a shady strip by the fence. Is it best to mix this wildflower mix with the new grass seed or just plant the flower seed on its own?
Cheers

Question by: Gavin on 21 Sep 2019 14:25:00

Hi Gavin,

Our shaded wildflower mix contains grass which is ideal for growing in shady areas so you can just sow this mix in to the shady strip on it's own whilst keeping your grass seed for the rest of your garden.

Thanks,
Peter

Answer by: Peter (Admin) on 23 Sep 2019 09:58:00

Hi
I have slight hillock under an apple tree and alongside the hedge - so it is in shade. I have just killed off the ground elder that was covering it - and want to sow grass with maybe some wild flowers scattered in there. My soil is dry - and heavy chalk . What seed would you recommend?
Thanks

Question by: Elaine Hirst on 22 Sep 2019 21:19:00

Hi Elaine,

For your shaded area we recommend our Shaded area wildflower mix which contains annuals, perennials and grasses ideal for creating a perfect habitat in dry, chalky soils.

I have just sown dry shade wildflower mix (late september) and was wondering if I will need to thin out the seedlings when germinated or will they sort themselves out ?

Question by: Mike Bonsor on 1 Oct 2019 13:23:00

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your question, your wildflower seeds will be able to sort themselves out once germination occurs.

Question by: Jacqueline wheeler on 27 Jun 2019 10:30:00

Hi Jacqueline, we recommend opting for soil with low fertility. If you have an area where you wish to sow the seed, remove the top 5-10cm to reduce soil fertility. If the seeds are planted in fertile soil, they may grow higher than expected. I hope this helps - if you have any further questions you can send them to expert@thegrasspeople.com

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 1 Jul 2019 09:36:00

Do the seeds have an expiration date?

Question by: Nicola on 17 Jul 2019 17:30:00

Hi Nicola,
Wildflower seeds can be used for up to a year after purchase - however please note that after this the success of germination may decrease slightly.

Answer by: Anna (Admin) on 22 Jul 2019 09:16:00

Hi,
I have a north facing lawn that gets some sun but is partly shaded. It’s patchy and lots of dandelions. How could I prepare it for sowing these to create a little meadow?

Question by: Andrea on 6 Jun 2019 17:22:00

Hi Andrea,
If you believe the soil to be of poor enough / low nutrient quality, you can give the soil that is there a rake, sow your wildflower seed so it is about 1cm beneath the surface, firm down by foot and water. If there is grass growing there or weeds, remove these and the top 5-10cm of soil to reduce soil fertility, then you can sow the wildflower seed. I hope this helps
