How to Sow Wildflower Seed Mixes
Prepare the site by removing weeds and creating a fine, firm seedbed.
Mix seed with sand (optional) to help spread evenly by hand or spreader.

Do not use fertiliser, as wildflowers thrive in nutrient-poor soil.
Water if necessary, especially after spring sowing or in dry conditions.
