Wildflower Seeds for Planting - Bee and Butterfly Mix

Prepare a bare, weed-free seedbed: remove existing vegetation, loosen topsoil, rake to fine tilth

Mix the seeds with an inert carrier (e.g. fine sand) — this helps scatter very small seeds more evenly.

Broadcast the seed mix evenly over the prepared soil — walk over the area once north-south, then east-west for uniform coverage.

Lightly press or roll the seeds into contact with soil — do not bury deeply; wildflower seeds need light or light cover to germinate.

Choose a sunny to partly sunny site — most wildflower species prefer good light.

Avoid very rich, fertilised soil — wildflowers often do best in poor to moderately fertile soil (fertile soil favours aggressive weeds).

Mix seeds with sand or fine carrier for even distribution — this helps you avoid clumping and patches.

Water gently at first, then reduce watering once plants are established — many wildflower species are drought-tolerant.
