| How To Grow | Soak the seeds in lukewarm water overnight. Sow seeds on the surface of a well draining seed raising mix. Cover the seeds with 1-2mm of soil. Keep the seed tray moist but not overly wet as you do not want the seeds to rot. Place pots in a partly shaded area to keep them from drying out. Maintain a warm temperature, ideally 18-24°C . In cooler areas it may be beneficial to cover pots and trays with clear polythene to retain moisture and warmth. In the right conditions germination commences within 10-28 days. For ideal results it is generally best to avoid sowing Wildflower seeds in the hottest and coldest months. Wildflower Seed Starter Granules are recommended for use with sowing wildflower seeds. Smoke treatment can assist with germination and results in stronger seedlings, helping to improve their survival rate after germination. For seeds that require soaking in water before sowing, simply add the starter granules to the water with the seeds. |
