Common Question Answered: When to Plant Wildflowers in the Fall
by Amanda
One of the most common questions we receive each fall is, "When should I plant Wildflowers?"
The short answer: Plant in the fall once the ground is frozen and temperatures in your area are cold enough that the seed will stay dormant until the early spring. However, we have several blogs, articles and videos that explain the process of fall Wildflower planting in much more detail, from the preparation of your soil all the way to sowing the seed. We've included these resources for you below.
Don't forget -- We have garden experts available 6 days a week to answer your planting questions either via email, phone or live chat! You can also "like" the Seed Man on facebook to get the latest Wildflower news, planting tips and more.
