Loosen: Scarify the surface to 5–10 cm, without digging deep (wildflowers prefer poor soils). Level: Rake to obtain a flat, fine surface. Sowing: Time: Spring sowing: March to May, after the last frosts. Autumn sowing: September to October, for early flowering the following spring. Density: 3–5 g/m² for a dense and flowering result. Method: Mix seeds with fine sand (1:5) to facilitate even distribution. Sow broadcast in two crossing passes (length then width). Lightly rake to incorporate seeds 0.5–1 cm deep. Press down with a roller or by light trampling to ensure good soil contact. Water in a fine spray if the soil is dry. Care: Watering: Water regularly until germination (2–3 weeks). Once plants are well established, watering is generally not necessary (except during prolonged drought). Weed Control: At the beginning of the crop, remove the most vigorous weeds. Wildflowers will gain the upper hand after a few weeks. Fertilization: No fertilization required. Wildflowers prefer poor soils. Overly nutrient-rich soil promotes leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Mowing: End of season: After flowering (October-November), mow to 10–15 cm height or scythe. Leave the cut material for a few days to allow seeds to fall. In spring: Rake off the residue to encourage new growth. Flowering: Annual flowers bloom in the first year (about 8–12 weeks after sowing). Perennial flowers bloom mainly from the second year, ensuring lasting flowering over several years. Tips: For a long-lasting flower meadow, it is best to sow in spring (March-May) or autumn (September-October). Avoid overly shady or too wet areas. Do not use chemical herbicides or fertilizers, which disturb the natural balance. Leave some dry stems over winter to shelter beneficial insects (insects, birds). For continuous flowering, sow on several areas with staggered timing. Packaging: Resealable bag with 150 g of wildflower seed mix.
