You can find complete wildflower planting info on my web site at http://www.seedstrust.com/st/bro/wild.html. How to plant wildflowers is a
popular general question. Unfortunately, the answer is most often specific
to what and where you are planting. I would need to know where you live, a
description of the area you are planting, sun, soil, slope, etc., and what
you are planting.
I would be happy to help. I have been helping folks with this for 21 years.

> I'll be planting some wildflower seed in the next couple of weeks, into a

> Some are very tiny, which I haven't had much luck with in the past. They

> for tried-and-true methods for planting these tiny little seeds.
> What I had planned to do is rake away the leaves, scratch the surface with

> be too much to rake the leaves, or some, back over the seed to keep them
> moist?
> Thanks in advance. I hope to have some color soon.
