It's easier than you think to establish a wildflower or wildflower meadow area in your garden from seed. This simple guide shoes you how to start. Really for gardeners in the UK.

I'm in San Diego, CA USA. I bought a large, $50-60 bag of native wildflowers seeds and hand sewed them on the first 1/3 of the hill that makes up about 1/2 of our backyard- a largely unsueable and difficult to landscape space. I literally just tossed them about and scraped with a rake in late fall, just before our seasonal rains. By March, it was covered in green shoots- mostly of Elegant Clarkia- and it blooms from late March to late June. The next year the second third of the hill was covered in wildflowers and now this, the third season, the entire hill is literally nothing but wildflowers of pinks and yellows and purples and blues and oranges thanks partly to my weed whacking and ensuring futher seed spread. The neighborhors know to watch for it now. Besides weeding, no amendments or watering is needed.

I'm a very novice gardener and I've just built two raised beds in my "yarden". I intend to plant wildflowers there this year to keep the costs down after forking out on lots of compost, the raised beds themselves, and decorative gravel around them. I assume I won't have a problem (or hopefully not!) with competing grasses, so I'll just pop the seeds on top of the compost for now and see what happens!

It might be worth buying some sand - something coarse - to mix with that compost!

@@NickMannHAL I actually have some old paving sand from when we lifted up some of the old paving slabs, but its been very mixed as to what I can see online about whether its suitable for gardening. May have to buy some of the proper stuff!

I think I would be wary of using play sand.We bought some from Argos a few years ago and I found that where our grandchildren spilt it on the lawn while playing with their sand table, the grass actually died back temporarily. Surely they wouldn't be allowed to add a herbicide to it would they?

I wouldn't have thought so, particularly as the children might swallow it!
