Northern Lights Flower Mix - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
Allow 10–28 days at 65–75°F (18–24°C).
SOWING:
Sowing in place is recommended. Start with a weed-free field or bed and broadcast the mix evenly. Rake it in lightly and press gently so the seed makes good contact with the soil, keeping it no deeper than 1/8". Keep the area moist until seedlings appear. When to plant: late spring, early summer or late fall. For fall sowing, wait until the soil is too cold for seed to sprout, below 40°F (4.4°C).
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Full sun.
PLANT HEIGHT:
12–48", depending on the species.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Average soil with good drainage.
USES:
Naturalized plantings in beds and fields.
SEEDING RATES:
A packet of about 650 seeds covers a 75–100' row or 5–10 sq. ft. Use 2–3 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 6–7 lb. per acre, choosing the higher rate for the most color or where soil preparation and weed control are limited.
