GROWING WILDFLOWERS October is a prime time for planting wildflower seeds in the garden. The mild temperatures of fall allow the seeds to germinate, develop a good root system, and then go dormant until spring.

Broadcast the seeds over the new bed, first one way, then the other (i.e., north-south, then east-west). Walk over the bed to press the seed into the soil, but do not cover the seeds more than 1/16?.
