Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I really just throw them on the ground?
A: In short, yes.
The optimum planting time depends upon your climate and average rainfall. In areas with colder winters, spring or early summer seeding is best. Spring plantings should be done as soon as the planting area can be worked, but after the last frost. Early summer plantings should only be done if rainfall patterns are anticipated or supplemental irrigation is available.
“Dormant” seeding can be done in late fall when temperatures are low enough that the seeds will not germinate until weather warms the following spring. In mild climates, plant fall through spring, to take advantage of winter rainfall. A fall planting allows the plants to develop and provide an earlier display of flowers in the spring. If planted in spring, make certain rainfall is expected; otherwise, supplemental irrigation will need to be supplied.

Site Preparation:
Deer Resistant wildflowers do well in loamy soil, sandy soil, clay soil, acidic soil, with medium moisture and plenty of sunshine. Don't worry though, they are hardy and will tolerate poor soil conditions and light drought once established. Prepare your soil by removing all existing growth and debris. Better soil preparation means more flowers!
Then plant seed balls halfway into the soil with spacing as indicated above. Good seed-to-soil contact encourages good germination and healthy roots. Do not bury wildflower seeds. Keep moist and water daily until they are 4-6" tall, unless rains will provide ample water (such as in the spring or fall).
Q: How many do I need for my space?
A: Each Deer Resistant Seedle contains between 20 and 25 wildflower seeds. Each Seedle can cover up to 1 square foot of space, but for a denser look of flowers place 2-3 per square foot.
Q: How big are they?
A: Each Seedle is the size of a nickel, some are slightly smaller, some bigger.
Q: What zones do Deer Resistant wildflower seeds grow?
A: Zone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
