HOW TO PLANT WILDFLOWER SEEDS IN ILLINOIS

When To Plant

For Spring planting, it is best to plant within a month after the final frost of the winter season. You can begin planting wildflower seeds once the outdoor temperature has reached a minimum of 55°F.



To prevent germination, plant fall seeds after the initial frost. This fall planting strategy provides an early advantage for springtime blossoms in Illinois.


Where To Plant

Though many wildflowers do tolerate some shade, and a few actually thrive in it, the vast majority prefer a sunny environment. It is recommended to plant your Illinois wildflower seeds in an area that receives at least 6 to 10 hours of direct sunlight a day.


How To Plant

Clear the area and soften the soil as best you can before planting your wildflower seeds. For a smaller area, you can scatter the seeds by hand. For larger areas, we recommend a seed spreader to create a better dispersion of the seeds. After the seeds have been sown, lightly compress the seeds into the soil about 1/4" to protect from birds and wind. Keep the soil moist until germination begins.


How To Care For Wildflowers

Although Wildflowers are easy to grow and take care of, there are some steps to keep them looking beautiful. Regularly weed to ensure your wildflowers are getting the nutrients they need. Water your plants during dry spells.
