Cultural information for 100% wild flower mixtures
For Mixtures that do not contain grass seed, they are intended to be sown without grass into cultivated ground to create ornamental beds of wild flowers only. They cannot be sown into existing grass.
In general, wild flowers respond well to fertile ground and to being fertilized like any other garden flowers. But grasses and weeds thrive on fertile soils and may adversely affect seed germination, establishment and subsequent growth.
Sowing time all year round with best results sowing either March to early May, or from August to September, for autumn establishment of most species.
Carefully prepare a fine, weed free seed bed. Take care to sow the seed evenly. Thoroughly mixing one part seed with nine parts dry sand (silica sand) makes it more easily distributed.
Rake the seed in lightly with a spring tined rake and firm the soil. Water with a fine spray to avoid disturbing the surface of the soil. Keep the area well watered and free from grass and weeds.
As the seedlings grow some thinning out will be necessary, especially with the more vigorous species. Use the area as a source of plant material by transplanting to other beds.
Cultural information for 20% Wild flower & 80% grass mixtures
Select a weed-free site of low fertility. DO NOT USE FERTILIZER. broad-leaved and grass weeds together with cultivated grasses contained in mixtures can be highly competitive on fertile soils and may adversely affect the seed germination, establishment and subsequent growth. However over-competitive growth may be counteracted by increased grass cutting.
CONTROL WEEDS BEFORE SOWING. Annual weeds may be hoed, buried or killed with a contact herbicide. Perennial weeds such as couch-grass; Docks; Thistles and Nettles should be eradicated manually or with Glyphosate herbicide.
Sow mixtures either from early March to early May or from early August to mid-September for autumn establishment of most species. If they contain Cowslip; Oxlip; Primrose; Bluebell or Violets these will not be expected to germinate until after the winter following sowing.
Cultivate the ground to produce a fine weed-free seed bed. Firm if necessary.
Sow evenly at the recommended rate. Thoroughly mixing one part seed with four parts dry sand makes more easily distributed.
Rake the seed in lightly with a spring tined rake and lightly firm the soil to ensure that the seed comes into contact with the moisture in the soil. Water with a fine spray to avoid disturbing the surface of the soil.
Keep the area well watered and free from any unwanted plants.
During the first year - for a march-may sowing the sward should be cut September or when finished flowering, for an Autumn sowing the sward should be cut March. It is essential that the cuttings are removed.
In the following years, cut in early spring (before growth starts) and in October, after all wild flower seeds have been shed. Remove the cuttings.
The cultural information should be used as a guide only as climatic conditions vary, I have found a number of different sowing techniques for the same seed from different sources there does not seem to be a standard. With this in mind you should use this website as a guide only, you probably already have a tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a rule of thumb the larger the seed size the more cover it requires, and very fine seed requires no cover. © Nicky's Nursery 2000-2007 To the best of my knowledge all information on these pages is accurate, wildflower mixtures can subject to change due to poor harvests of some species.
