What to Expect
Let the planting develop.
Different annual and perennial flowers establish and bloom on their own schedules, creating changing color in filtered light rather than a single uniform flush.
How to Plant
Prepare, sow, and press.
Remove dense competing growth, expose the soil, broadcast evenly, press seed into the surface, and keep the seedbed moist through germination.
