Wildflowers / Planting Rate
...............................................................................................
A good rule of thumb is to plant 1 ounce of wildflower seed mix for 125 square feet. Our standard package of mixed seed is 28 grams, an ounce of seed, so count on this to cover 125 square feet, or simply put, an area of about 12'x10'. Our 1/4lb. bag will cover 375 square feet, the 1/2lb. bag covers 750 square feet, and 1 lb. bag will cover 1,500 square feet. For large plots, use 25lbs. over one acre. These seeding rates are for our wildflower mixes only and do not apply to individual species.
Our small bags of seed (individual species) contain enough seed to cover 10 square feet, or an area of about 3'x3'.
Do not seed thicker than these rates, particularly if you are using a mixture of annuals and perennials. You will get too many annuals the first year, and they will shade out the perennials emerging underneath, which need sunlight to grow and develop.
