wild flowers are good and easy to plant you can get the ones that are on a roll spread it on the ground and water everyday..if you lay plastic down first and then put the soil over it you will not get weeds and if you put a few pie plates in the middle tied to a stick it will keep the deer away ,the wild flowers will grow high and cover the pie plates so you cant see them.. you can cut the flowers and they keep for a week if you add sugar to the water..

Reply:I'd check out seen companies like Park Seed for cut flowers. They have a great selection and they indicate both the growing conditions and whether or not they are good for cut flowers.





I'd avoid the wildflower mixtures on my first try. They usually contain annuals, biennials and perrenials. Stick with annuals the first year so you won't be yanking out stuff that doesn't please you.





Other than that, about all you need is soil that is well-prepared. There is nothing like adding compost to ensure success. You can do this in the fall, the again in the spring, and you should have a terrific start at flower gardening.





Good luck!
Reply:Shade gardens are somewhat problematic for wildflowers, although there are some that grow there.
