Plant Your Wildflowers

A simple guide to growing a colourful patch of wildflowers.

1Find a sunny patch+

Anywhere with good soil and no weeds muscling in. Break it up with a rake until it's fine and crumbly. Wildflowers aren't fussy about postcode, but they do like a clean start.

2Bulk it out, then scatter+

Here's the trick most people miss: mix your seed into a handful of seed raising mix before you sow. It's a lot of soil to a little seed, and it stops you dumping the lot in one spot. Scatter half walking one way, half walking across it. Sounds fussy. Isn't. Works.

3Rake, water, wait+

Light rake with your hands or rake to tuck the seed in, then a good soak with a fine spray. Keep it damp while they're getting going (that's the most important bit). After that they're on their own, and they'll cope fine.

4Show us your blooms+

Snap a photo when your patch takes off and tag @booniesfootwear with #BootsAndBlooms. Best blooms wins a Boonies voucher.

Blurry photos welcome! We're judging flowers, not photography.
