FAQs

When is the best time to sow this wildflower seed mix?

The ideal time to sow is in spring, after the risk of late frosts has passed. Autumn sowing is also possible in milder climates.

What is the recommended sowing rate?

The general recommendation is 1g/m². For Colour Boost mixtures, the suggested rate is 3-5g/m².

Can I use this seed mix in a shaded area?

This mixture performs best in sunny locations. It is not recommended for heavily shaded areas as it may lead to reduced flowering and plant health.

What is the purpose of the Rehofix MK1500 corn skin granule?

The Rehofix MK1500 is a natural, biodegradable carrier that helps ensure even sowing of the seed mix, improving precision and cost-effectiveness, especially for large areas.

How long will the flowers last?

The mixture is designed for an annual display, offering a long flowering period that typically lasts from approximately 8 weeks after sowing until the first frosts of autumn.

Will this seed mix attract wildlife?

Yes, this mix is designed to support biodiversity and restore critical habitats for insects, small mammals, and birds.

How often should I water the seeds after sowing?

Keep the soil consistently moist after sowing to encourage germination. Once the plants are established, water requirements will decrease, but regular watering during dry spells is beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Poor germination

Ensure seeds were sown at the correct depth (lightly covered) and soil has adequate moisture. Check for extreme temperatures or overly compacted soil.

Weeds dominating the wildflowers

Improve soil preparation before sowing to reduce weed seeds. Hand-weed young seedlings or consider a pre-emergence weed control if appropriate for your area.

Lack of blooms

Verify the location receives adequate sunlight. Ensure the soil has sufficient moisture and nutrients. Check if the sowing rate was appropriate.

Plants appear stressed

Assess watering frequency and soil moisture. Ensure the plants are not in a waterlogged or excessively dry environment. Check for signs of pests or disease.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a long-lasting, visually impressive annual bloom.
  • Supports local wildlife by creating essential habitats.
  • Establishes quickly for a fast impact.
  • Versatile for use in various outdoor settings.
  • Offers a natural and attractive aesthetic.

Cons

  • Requires sunny locations and moisture-retentive soil.
  • May not be suitable for heavily shaded areas.
  • Susceptible to weed ingress if planted in vulnerable locations.
  • Primarily an annual display, requiring re-seeding for subsequent years.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Prepare the soil by removing weeds and loosening the top layer. Sow the seed mixture at the recommended rate, ensuring even distribution. Lightly rake the area after sowing to lightly cover the seeds, then water gently. For best results, sow in spring.

Compatibility: This seed mix thrives in sunny locations with moisture-retaining soils. It is not recommended for shaded areas or land prone to significant weed growth.

Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to encourage establishment. Once established, the plants are relatively low maintenance. Deadheading spent flowers can sometimes encourage further blooming. Avoid mowing until the end of the flowering season to allow seeds to drop.
