Planting Instructions for Native Wildflower Seeds by Project Native

1. Remove all existing aggressive growth including sod by tilling or digging.

2. Determine soil health: if in doubt add aged compost at the ratio of one 40
pound bag per eight square feet or one yard per 320 square feet.

3. Level area with hand rake.

4. Mix seed with a carrier such as damp vermiculite or sand.
Spread carrier (mixed with seed) evenly over prepared area. Tamp down soil
by roller or by foot.

5. Mulch with a weed free straw or hay. Keep moist while germinating.

Note: For best results sow seed from late October to mid-November for
spring germination. Please allow one year from date of sowing for all seed to sprout.
