Wildflowers are such a beautiful way of adding some colour to your garden but the most important thing about them is that they are a vital food source for bees and pollinators and provide a year round habitat for local wildlife.

Wildflower seeds can be sewn throughout the year with bloom usually taking place after 60-80 days, the best time to do it is a fine spring or autumn day.
-
Step One: Remove all grass, plants, flora and weeds in your chosen area (Make sure there is plenty of sunlight in this area)
Step Two: Dig over the soil and make sure theres no large stones, firm down and rake over to create a level seed bed.
Step Three: Scatter your seeds over the area evenly by hand.
Step Four: Rake the area gently again to just cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil.
Step Five: Water the area gently being very careful not to wash your seeds away.
