I've never planted wildflowers before, however this year I thought I would give it a try. Since we have had crazy, hot weather this summer, I devised a plan on when to plant my seeds. Now...if I could just have some cooperation from mother nature.
My seed planting plan is this - Wait for at least two good soaking rains (Yes, I'm trying to be positive and assume that this will happen). Plant the seeds around mid October or the end of October.
I will be utilizing the information shared by Toni at Signature Gardens in her Fall 2011 Newsletter on planting wildflower seeds.
My wildflower wish list includes:

| Dwarf Larkspur Photo by Bransford, W.D. Mrs |
| Pink Buttercups Photo by Bransford, W.D. Mrs. |
