When should I plant summer wildflower seed?
When sowing annual summer wildflower seeds, we recommend planting them in early Spring, usually March - May time. This gives the wildflowers enough time to establish themselves ready to bloom in Summer. They can also be planted in November to then bloom the following year.
What are annual summer wildflower seeds?
Annual summer wildflower seeds are seeds that are usually sowed in Spring, bloom in the first Summer season and then die in the Winter. They tend to have their whole lifecycle within 12-months. However, in some cases they may produce seeds which can grow into new plants the following season.
