How To Plant
Find a planter or patch of soil in a sunny area. Most wildflowers will be fine in poor quality soil but fertilizer never hurts.
Clear the area and work the soil with a rake or shovel. Hand-broadcast the seeds. Cover with 1/4″ of soil and water.
Let nature do the rest! Water during dry spells. Some weeds will sprout; you can remove them to help the wildflowers or leave them.
