Tip of the Day- Wildflower Seeding Times
Fall seeding is generally recommended for most wildflowers and native grasses. Sow the seeds on the surface evenly after the first frost (usually late November through mid-January) and let the freezing and thawing take the seed down into the soil. Many of the seeds will germinate during March and April but the warm season grasses will not germinate until May or June when the soil temperature reaches 60 degrees F.
Spring seeding is also an option. For best results, seed should be planted from mid-May to mid-June. The benefit of spring seeding is more moisture availability.
