Sowing & Maintaining Wildflowers

Site preparation

The aim is to produce a firm, weed-free stale seedbed. Subsoils often provide a weed-free,
low-nutrient status seed bed and are suitable for wild flora. However, it is occasionally
necessary to remove the topsoil in areas of high fertility, as these soils tend to promote the growth of more vigorous grasses and pernicious weeds. Treat existing vegetation with a
systemic herbicide before seedbed cultivation, taking note of any site constraints and
manufacturer’s instructions first.

Sowing annuals & perennials

Sowing can take place throughout most of the year, providing a good stale seedbed can be
prepared. However, the months of March/April and August/ September are generally the
most suitable.

1 Regularly mix seed to ensure even species distribution, drill or broadcast
2 Bulk up small seeding rates with sand or porridge oats, four parts to one part seed
3 Rake or harrow - mix the seed into the soil (depth approx. 0.5cm), roll to firm seedbed

Wildflower Maintenance

Annuals complete their life cycle in one year, i.e. they will germinate, grow, produce a flower, set seed and die all in one year. Therefore, you will see them flower the summer after sowing if sown in Autumn and 8 weeks after sowing if sown in Spring. Perennials come back year after year, however, they will not flower until the second year after sowing.

First year management of perennial wildflowers

In the first year, control the weeds and reduce competition from grasses. Cut the sward to a
height of 5-7cm every two months or when the sward reaches 15cm. Remove all the cuttings. Dig out or spot-treat any perennial weeds.

Future maintenance of perennial wildflowers

Cut to 5-7cm during March/April and remove cuttings. A second cut should take place at the end of the flowering season during August/October. Remove all cuttings. Further cuts in the autumn period to remove untidy growth may be required.
