Flower Seeds

Whether you have a big empty space in your yard, or a small patch in a little back garden, the solution to getting an almost maintenance free patch of wonderful colors is to spread wild flower seeds. In today's world, you can get seeds shipped to you from all over the world. Not all will thrive well in your climate, so attention has to be paid to the needs of every wild flower mix. Nevertheless, you can create a carpet of color with relatively little effort.
When deciding on wild flower seeds, the first thing to consider is the amount of sunlight it will get, and choose the flowers accordingly. Sun loving flowers will not do well between trees, and shade loving wild flowers won't do well in the blazing desert sun.
The biggest decision will have to make will be what kind of pattern, if any, should you give your garden? Should you plant in patches of colors or use a mixture of seeds and let nature take it's course? The jury is still out. You can do whatever pleases your eye.
Preparing the soil is very important when thinking of using wild flower seeds. To enable the seeds to germinate, the area should be clean of weeds and surface roots. If you like to, you can use pesticides. It will kill the weeds, but will stay in the ground.
