How to Sow Annual Seeds


FALL (OCT-NOV):

  • In the area where you want to seed your annuals, rough up about a quarter to half and inch of soil.

*If you want to go above and beyond: Prior to seeding, water the area to encourage weeds to germinate and remove them as they sprout. Repeat as many times as you think are necessary.

  • If the area isn't irrigated, wait for a day before it’s supposed to rain.

  • Scatter the seeds over the area and lightly rake over the area so the seeds are covered.

WINTER:

  • Don't let the area dry out in between rain events! Pull out any weeds that appear.

SPRINg:

  • Once the plants begin to put on true leaves, cut back on water.

  • Enjoy the blooms!

summer:

  • Allow the flower to drop their seeds or collect them for next season!
