Tips To Grow Wild Flowers In Your Garden

First, while dealing with wild flowers, it is essential to determine the type of environment that they'd thrive in. Wild flowers need a large area of space and require a minimum of 7 hours of sunshine every day. Second, and most importantly, they need to be grown in soil that is well drained. Heavily packed soil cannot breed wild flowers at any cost.

For wild flowers, the soil should be rich in nutrients in order to ensure laudable growth and prevent the growth of weeds. Sometimes, wild flowers can themselves help in eradicating growth of weeds. This can happen provided the soil is rich in nutrients required by wild flowers and the soil is well drained.

Next is creating the soil bed. This part forms the most important step in growing wild flowers. The soil must be tilled or raked to about 1 or 2 cms. If you intend to plant wild flowers in a particular location in your garden, remember to not allow them to come in close contact with other crops.

Next is the weather. Wild Flowers usually like it when the soil is warm. So the best time to plant them would be in the months of spring. While removing other plants in order to plant wild flowers in a particular location, make sure you spray Roundup so that existing roots in the soil are destroyed and wild flowers can make full use of the soil in the location where you intend to plant them.
