Wildflowers will give your garden a natural look. If you have a lot of space, you can plant wildflower seeds on a large plot of land into a colorful field. You can also grow wildflowers on a smaller plot if you don’t have much land. Some gardeners plant wildflowers on the strip of land between the driveway and the perimeter of the property. Learn how to grow wildflowers to beautify your outdoor space.
Determine the time to sow wildflower seeds.
- Autumn is nature’s sowing season. One advantage to sowing seeds in the fall is the ability to bloom early. However, this also increases the risk of a late spring cold snap. It’s a good idea to wait for a damaging frost before sowing your seeds in the fall so they don’t germinate before spring.

On the contrary, heat and a lack of rain (if you live in a dry area) will prevent seeds from germinating.

You should wait until the last frost is over before sowing the seeds. Sow seeds immediately after tilling to give wildflowers the advantage of growing faster than grass.

Prepare the soil where you plan to plant wildflowers.
- You can use any type of soil to grow wildflowers, except very barren soil. Wherever there are weeds, there are wildflowers that grow well.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e8/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-2Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-2Bullet1.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e8/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-2Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-2Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”} - Clear the soil as clean as possible. Use wet newspaper to cover other plants and then turn right back to the ground as you till the soil. Small plots can be plowed by hand; For larger plots, you can use a tiller to till the soil. Dig only deep enough to remove the old roots. Deep digging is not recommended.

However, you can leave some grass to give the field a natural look.

Find the best-growing wildflowers in your area and know what they fall under.
- Most wildflowers are annual plants. Flowers bloom profusely and quickly, dropping seeds to the ground and dying when the weather is too cold or too dry, depending on the region. Many wildflowers “self-seed” and next year more plants will grow as the seeds fall off when the plants die. Poppies, daisies, and marigolds are some of the annual wildflowers.
- Perennials have roots that go deep into the ground and regrow every year. Perennials can live for decades and grow every year. Many plants germinate and bloom more slowly than annual plants. Chrysanthemums, daisies, and room flowers are examples of perennial wildflowers.
- Two-year plants will grow for one season, but will bloom the following year. They will then die from frost, but since they are self-seeding, they will germinate in the spring. Chrysanthemums and carnations are biennial wildflowers.

Choose a location with lots of sun and good drainage. Features of nature such as surrounding rocks or trees will accentuate the beauty of your field or wildflower garden.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/99/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-5.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-5.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/99/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plant wildflowers near a water source to prevent them from dying during periods of no rain, even during longer dry spells.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fd/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-6.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-6.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fd/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Limited fertilization. Wildflowers grow naturally without much care. If using fertilizers, use only low-nitrogen fertilizers.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/97/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-7.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-7.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/97/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Consult a gardener or the instructions on the seed package to determine how much seed is needed to cover the area of the soil you want to plant.
Seeds of wildflowers are sown by division and sand mixing.
- Divide the number of seeds into two parts.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a3/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet1.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a3/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”} - Mix one part seed with 10 parts loose sand or vermiculite.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/34/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet2.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet2.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/34/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet2.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet2.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”} - Choose a windless day to sow the seeds. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to control where the seeds fall.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f2/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet3.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet3.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f2/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet3.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet3.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”} - Sow the seeds on the prepared soil. The light color of the sand or rock will indicate where the seeds have fallen. Repeat this step in the remaining spots with the remaining half of the beads.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/55/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet4.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet4.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/55/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet4.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet4.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”} - Press the seeds into the ground by walking on top. Place a piece of plywood on the ground and jump on it, or use a lawn roller. You need to press the seeds into the ground so they don’t fly away. Do not use mulch as the soil layer can make germination difficult.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5a/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet5.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet5.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet5.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-8Bullet5.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/74/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-9.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-9.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/74/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Make sure your wildflower garden has enough moisture for the first four to six weeks or until the plants have taken root. Wet seeds are also difficult to fly away. Wildflowers will grow naturally without much care, but you need to water periodically when the weather is too dry.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9e/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-10.jpg/v4-460px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-10.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9e/Plant-Wildflowers-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Plant-Wildflowers-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fields of wildflowers should be pruned a little in late autumn. This work helps to remove dead flowers and sow seeds. Observe where spring plants sprout and plant seeds in open spaces.
Advice
- Add in details like a bench, feeder and birdbath, and maybe a small lake in the wildflower area. Create a path through the field; You can even place some flat rocks along the way to encourage people to pass through the wildflowers.
- Avoid sowing seeds on hillsides in the fall due to the risk of seeds drifting and spoiling.
