Before sowing this flower mixture, you must first prepare the site. This involves removing all grass, weeds, roots, stones, and other debris from the soil. Flower mix seeds are always sown outdoors. Sow from April onwards in the desired location in a sunny spot. If the seeds are very small, it's helpful to mix them with some dry, fine sand. This makes it easier to sow thinly. Broadcast the seeds thinly and cover the seeds with a thin layer of seed compost, or gently rake the seeds into the soil. Keep moist and weed-free. Once the seedlings have emerged, your beautiful flower meadow will require no further maintenance.
In late summer, after the flowers have faded, you can mow the flowers to a height of about 5 cm. Let the flower clippings dry for a few days and then tap them with a spade to release the seeds, creating a beautiful, colorful flower meadow again next year. This flower mixture flowers from June till September.
Leave the flowers in late summer once they have finished flowering. This mix consists of flowers and other plants, which after flowering, contain seeds that are eaten by all sorts of birds that come to the garden.
