Planting Tips for Success
- Sunlight: Choose a sunny site with about 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil Preparation: Remove weeds and loosen the surface of well-drained soil. Avoid excessive compost or rich amendments.
- Timing: Fall sowing suits many Texas native wildflowers, allowing seasonal weather to help prepare seeds for germination. Spring results vary by species and local conditions.
- Sowing: Distribute seeds evenly over a prepared area and press gently for good soil contact. Avoid burying the mix deeply. Follow packet directions for coverage.
- Watering: Water gently after sowing and maintain appropriate surface moisture during establishment. Reduce supplemental watering as plants become established, adjusting for rainfall and species needs.
- Fertilizing: Avoid heavy feeding, especially high-nitrogen fertilizer, which can encourage leaves instead of flowers.
- Support: Allow room for plants of different sizes. Add discreet support if taller stems lean in exposed locations.
- Maintenance: Remove competing weeds carefully and leave some seed heads for birds and natural reseeding. Avoid mowing while plants are flowering or setting seed.
