Seeding density: 1 to 4 grams / m² Soil preparation before sowing A good cleaning with a hoe is necessary. You can practice the false sowing technique. Simply clean your plot once, wait 2 to 3 weeks to give the weed seeds time to germinate. Then do a second cleaning to have a perfectly clean soil before sowing the flower meadow. After removing the last traces of weeds, give it a good dig to loosen the surface of the soil to create a well-refined seedbed. It is not necessary to loosen in depth but only the first 3 or 4 centimeters. Sowing a flower meadow Sow the seeds broadcast from March to June or from August to November, spreading them well over the entire seedbed. When the seeds are sown, gently pass the dig to bury them in the soil on the surface like sowing grass. Water thoroughly, then during the dry period, the emergence should take a few weeks. Flowering Flowering from summer for spring sowing, from spring in the following years.
