Lawns and wildflowers: Gardening tips

While some people want their lawns to be plain and green, others would rather see some beautiful flowers there.

Good thing is that it's actually pretty easy to integrate some flowers into your green lawns, so they can look prettier.

Here are a few tips on how to do that.

Choose the Right Spot

Pick an area in your lawn where you want to plant the wildflowers. This spot should get some sunlight during the day.

Prepare the Soil

Before planting, you might need to loosen up the soil a bit with a shovel or a garden tool. Wildflowers often grow better in soil that's not too compact.

Scatter the Seeds

Sprinkle the wildflower seeds over the prepared soil. 

You don't need to plant them very deep, just press them lightly into the soil with your hands or a gentle pat.

Water Gently

Give the area a good watering, but don't flood it. Keep the soil consistently moist until the wildflowers start to grow.

Let Them Grow

Once the wildflowers start growing, let them be. They are pretty good at taking care of themselves. 

Just make sure they get enough sunlight and water as needed.

Maintenance

Wildflowers don't need a lot of maintenance. You can trim them back if they get too tall or remove any weeds that pop up nearby.

Spread the Seeds

Once the wildflowers have gone to seed, you can collect some of those seeds and scatter them in other parts of your lawn to create more wildflower areas.

Conclusion

Wildflowers are low-maintenance, so they are perfect for lawns - use them to decorate your lawns easily!
