How to Sow Wildflower Seed Mixes
Prepare the site by clearing existing vegetation and weeds.
Mix seed with sand for even distribution across the sowing area.
Sow at the recommended rate (5g per m²) using a broadcast method.
Firm the seedbed with a roller or by treading to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Water if necessary, particularly in dry conditions after sowing.
