How to Grow and Care for Deer Resistant Wildflower Seed Mix

1. Site Preparation:
   • Choose a well-draining area with full sun to partial shade. Wildflowers prefer sunny locations, but many varieties in this mix will tolerate some shade.
   • Clear the area of weeds and grass, as they can compete with your wildflowers for resources. Loosen the soil lightly to a depth of 1-2 inches to prepare for sowing.
2. Sowing the Seeds:
   • Sprinkle the seeds evenly over the soil surface, as wildflower seeds need light to germinate. Gently press them into the soil using a board or your hands.
   • For best results, sow the seeds in the fall or early spring, ensuring the ground temperature is at least 50°F (10°C) for proper germination.
3. Watering:
   • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid overwatering, as this can cause the seeds to rot. Once the wildflowers are established, they will be fairly drought-tolerant.
   • Water the plants in the early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation and encourage deeper root growth.
4. Fertilizing:
   • Wildflowers typically do not require heavy fertilization. If needed, a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can be used to promote strong growth, particularly in poor soil.
5. Weeding and Maintenance:
   • Once the wildflowers are established, they require little attention. However, it’s important to keep the area weed-free in the early stages of growth to allow the wildflowers to thrive.
   • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
