Leave Seeds Uncovered
Wildflower seeds are often very tiny, and many require light to germinate. Unlike veggie seeds, which are typically planted in holes and buried within the soil, wildflower seeds are scattered on top of the soil and left exposed.
Compress Seeds Into Soil
After you’ve scattered your seed, it’s important to compress for good seed-to-soil contact.
For small-sized patches, you can use your feet to compress seeds into the soil, either barefoot or in shoes.
