Cultivation
Cultivate your wild flowers in a pot, tub or flower box, or plant them in your garden. The most wild flowers do with an even less-nutritious soil and are happy in a full sunny place, where they can develop a rich blossoming. The best time for seeding would be between March and May. If you intend to plant in a former grass field, you should prepare the soil beforehand. An existing sod can be peeled of with a sharp spade, and then removed. After that, you may dig up the soil a little and break up bigger lumps of earth, before leveling off the area with a rake. Now, you can widely spread the seeds with about 5 to 10 grams per m², and rake them just a few millimeters into the earth since most of the seeds will need sufficient light to germinate. After planting, the soil should be solidified a little bit, for example with a wooden plank, so that the seeds are firmely be embedded in the earth. Shower the potting compost with water and keep it consistently moist over the next few weeks.
