WILDFLOWERS AND PRAIRIE GRASS PLANTING TIPS

When to Plant Wildflowers take more moisture than grasses to germinate. Once planted, seeds must remain

moist to ensure a successful stand. Some seeds will germinate and bloom the first year, while

others will not begin blooming until the second year. The optimum rainfall period, severity of the winter, and the dormancy of the seed will

determine the most favorable time to plant wildflowers and prairie grasses in your area. When

planting in the spring, plant early when ample rainfall is anticipated. Seeds also may be planted

all summer if they can be watered. When planting in fall, plant when anticipated warm weather is

passed, so germination of seed is at minimum. Planting in fall will allow the seed to over winter

and sprout in the spring. This over wintering also has the effect of breaking the dormancy that

some of the native seeds display. There are risks to over wintering, however: Late fall rains and

warm spells may allow the seed to begin germination only to be killed by the winter ground

freezing. Also, the longer the seeds are on the ground, the more chance there is of them being

eaten by birds and rodents. Plant wildflowers the same time as prairie grasses. Select a site that

receives full-to partial sun and is well-drained. Preparing the Bed The main objective when preparing the seedbed is to provide optimum seed-to-soil contact

and eliminate any undesirable plants or grasses. This can be accomplished two ways: chemical

or tillage treatment. Commercial herbicides are available that will eliminate the aggressive cool season sod-

forming grasses. Round-up is the most popular. These grasses must be removed before planting a

wildflower or prairie grass site. Some cases of heavy sod-forming grasses it may take a season of repeated tilling. Care must

be taken to completely eliminate any cool season sod-forming grasses. Prior to planting, the

seedbed should be firm and free of clumps. Sowing the Seed A small amount of wildflower seed goes a long way. When hand broadcasting the seed, it is

good to mix the seed with damp sand, saw dust, peat moss, vermiculite, etc. to help prevent

clumping and to provide even distribution. Mix seed evenly into inert material. Use approx. 15

bushels of inert material per acre. Take one half of total mix and spread it across entire area.

Repeat going perpendicular to first half. Rake the seed in lightly, being careful not to bury it too

deeply. Seed should be planted no more than 1/16" deep. Roll the site with a roller to firm

seedbed. Seed soil contact is very important. All seed will not be covered, but that is normal. Care after Planting All seeds need water to germinate. Plantings should be kept moist during their establishment

and blooming stages, supplemental watering once a week (more often if natural rainfall is low)

will help wildflowers and prairie grasses thrive and may even prolong the blooming periods of

some species. It is generally unnecessary to fertilize wildflowers and prairie grasses if they are planted in

their native habitat. In fact, fertilizing may produce excessive foliage at the expense of blooms.

Also fertilizing the first year may encourage more weed growth. Weeds still need to be pulled as soon as they can be identified. Mowing also can control some

weeds, but the blade must clear the height of the desired seedlings. Once an established wildflower or prairie site exists, weeding is very minimal. Ensure Reseeding Wait to clear your wildflower garden or prairie site until all the species have gone to seed to

allow them to reseed themselves. It may require some patience on your part, since wildflowers

tend to look rather unkempt during their final stages. We recommend mowing in spring. Most

wildflower and prairie grass seeds are a natural food source for wildlife throughout the winter.

Rain Garden Mix

A Rain Garden is a shallow depression designed to intentionally collect rain from surfaces

such as roofs, driveways, slopes, and parking areas. While some water will evaporate, the

rest is left to soak into the ground. A Rain Garden allows that water to be filtered naturally

by plants, bacteria, and soils as it seeps underground. There are many different ways to

create Rain Gardens. Without knowing exact moisture conditions or weather patterns,

Prairie Frontier recommends the general Rain Garden Mix. Unstable weather may bring

heavy rainfall one day and drought conditions for two subsequent weeks or something else

entirely. However, the general Rain Garden Mix will encompass all these possibilities. The

Rain Garden Mix consists of native plants for a variety of wet and dry conditions. Once

established, this combination of plants will be able to endure even the most extreme

weather patterns, from droughts to downpours. At that time, adding new plants and

moving or trimming existing plants can further personalize the garden. In order to

increase wildlife around the Rain Garden, add birdhouses, rocks, or old stumps. Doing so

will attract birds and butterflies by providing a source of food for them, while naturally

filtering runoffs in your yard. This mix grows to about 3’-4’ in height and contains 19

different native wildflowers and 7 different native prairie grasses and sedge.
