Planting instructions. To plant the seeds start by taking out whatever weeds and unwanted vegetation you have in the area. It is easier before you plant. Use roundup or pick them by hand. (get all the roots) It is best to plant the seeds when the average temperature is 60 to 70 and just before the rainy season. (usually spring in most of the country) Don't till up the ground deeper than an inch if you can help it because it will bring up dormant weed seeds. Then put one packet of seeds in a container with about 1/4 cup of sand.(USE 6 TO 8 CUPS OF SAND FOR EACH POUND OF WILDFLOWER MIX) This way you will be able to see where you are spreading them. Keep sand and seeds mixed well at all times so they don't become separated. Throw out the seed by hand going over the area twice in two different directions. Keep mixing the seeds and sand. When you are done rake the seeds in lightly and walk over the area so the seeds come in good contact with the soil. You don't want the seed to go down in the soil any deeper than they are thick. There will be a lot of seeds on the surface. This is normal. Or you can plant them one at a time by hand. Then just keep the area moist until the plants come up. Once the seeds germinate don't let the soil dry out before the plants come up a couple of inches or they will die. After they are up with leaves water them when they ground looks dry.
