Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

Site Selection:

Choose a location with full sun to partial shade.

Ensure the area has well-draining soil.

Soil Preparation:

Clear the area of weeds, grass, and debris.

Loosen the soil to a depth of 1-2 inches using a rake or garden tiller.

Mix in organic matter such as compost to improve soil fertility and texture.

Sowing

Mixing Seeds:

Mix the seeds with sand or a carrier to help distribute them evenly.

Broadcasting:

Scatter the seeds evenly over the prepared soil.

For larger areas, use a seed spreader for even distribution.

Raking:

Lightly rake the seeds into the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

Do not bury the seeds deeply; they should be just below the soil surface.

Watering:

Water the area gently but thoroughly after sowing.

Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate.

Germination

Time Frame: Germination typically occurs within 7-21 days, depending on the species and conditions.

Conditions: Maintain consistent moisture and avoid letting the soil dry out during the germination period.

Transplanting (if needed)

Thinning: If the seedlings are too dense, thin them to prevent overcrowding and ensure healthy growth.

Spacing: Space the seedlings according to the mature size of the plants, typically 6-12 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance

Watering:

Water the plants regularly during dry periods, especially in the first few months after planting.

Established prairie plants are generally drought-tolerant and require less frequent watering.

Weeding:

Weed the area regularly to reduce competition for resources.

Use mulch to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.

Pruning and Deadheading:

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.

Prune back plants as needed to maintain desired shape and size.
