How to determine the best sowing time of wildflower combination

Generally speaking, spring, summer and autumn are the seasons for wild flowers to sow, depending on your region, climate characteristics and the results you want to achieve. So the first consideration of sowing time is not the season, but the climatic characteristics of your area.

Sow seeds in frost-free areas

If you are in an area where there is no frost or a very short frost period, you can sow seeds at any time as long as you avoid the hottest season. Of course, it is best to hurry before the rainy season, and after the seedlings grow out, the temperature is not too high. Therefore, autumn sowing is a good choice.

Sowing seeds in areas with short frost-free periods

Spring sowing and autumn sowing can be chosen, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Autumn sowing

It is obvious that "nature sows seeds in autumn". In the natural state, wild flowers usually enter the full bloom in summer and seed one after another in autumn, and the seeds fall directly on the ground to "sow". Of course, the number of seeds that fall to the ground naturally is quite large, and anything can happen in a pure wild state-seeds fall on rocks or other crops and do not touch the soil at all. This is the price of self-propagation when it falls to the ground in the natural state, and a large number of seeds are actually lost. For example, the black-hearted chrysanthemum enters its full bloom in midsummer and begins to bear seeds at the end of summer. If the temperature is right, these seeds can germinate in the current season. If the climate is dry and the conditions are not suitable, they will survive the winter in the open until they sprout in the coming year.

The biggest advantage of autumn sowing, especially in cold areas, is that it blossoms earlier, usually about two weeks earlier than spring sowing. This characteristic is similar to that of lawn seeds-lawns sown in autumn are faster than those sown in spring.

The plot you choose will also affect the timing of planting. If it is a flat land, you can sow seeds at any time. If it is sloping land, it is best to choose spring sowing. Seeds sown in autumn need to go through late autumn in the soil until the whole winter, so they are more likely to be washed away.

If you decide to sow in autumn, it is best to wait until after the first Frosts Descent to ensure that the seeds do not germinate before the soil freezes.

By sowing seeds in autumn, gardeners will have more time. It is manifested in two aspects. First of all, the weather in spring is complex and changeable, while the weather in autumn is much better, sowing is not delayed by rain, there is no time limit, and the seeds must be sown at a certain time. Second, gardeners have more hours to work in autumn than in busy spring. So when sowing in autumn, you just need to choose a good site, make a whole, and then sow it before the soil freezes.

Advantage 3: it is easier to control weeds

Autumn sowing takes place at the end of the growing season, when weed seeds go into dormancy.

The dormant state of weeds is very favorable for sowing. For example, if you set up the ground one weekend and don't sow until the next weekend, it's possible in autumn, but not in spring. Obviously, dormant weed seeds buy you plenty of time. In spring, the soil must be prepared and sown on the same day, otherwise wild flower seeds will be at a complete disadvantage in the competition with weed seeds.

Of course, everything has two sides. One disadvantage of autumn sowing is that you don't know how many weed seeds there are in the soil when you sow. Of course, autumn sowing can at least ensure that flower seeds and weed seeds are in the same competitive position. When sowing in spring, the weed seeds which have experienced the whole winter have obvious competitive advantage.

Spring sowing

When sowing in spring, timing is very important. Generally speaking, you have to wait until Frosts Descent's threat has passed before sowing. But there are other considerations.

When sowing in spring, when the land is finished, it is best to sow the seeds on the same day, at least not until the next day. What's more, we can't prepare the ground this weekend and sow seeds next weekend. The reason is that when you open the ground, it gives weed seeds a chance to grow rapidly. If it is not sown in time, flower seeds will be at an obvious disadvantage in the competition with weed seeds.

Advantages of spring sowing: weeds can be removed

If you are patient enough and willing to do more work, you can take measures to control weeds before sowing in spring. Compared with autumn sowing, this is a major advantage of spring sowing.

The specific method is: first clear the land, do not sow, but let the weeds grow rapidly (watering the soil when the soil is dry to promote the weeds to grow quickly, and then observe carefully). Two weeks later, weeds emerge one after another, and you can at least know the earliest types of weeds in the soil. Keep waiting (the time you wait depends on the weather and the time you plan to sow). When you have a clear understanding of the weeds in the soil, you can kill them and plant flowers.

There are several different ways to deal with weeds. Many people use herbicides (such as paraquat). Some gardeners will spread newspapers on weeds to suffocate weeds, but this method is not safe and takes a long time. The treated soil can no longer be cultivated. If the soil is prepared again at this time, new weed seeds will be found, resulting in all previous efforts being wasted.

After preparing the land and dealing with weeds, the flower species will grow in an environment with as few weeds as possible. But it's hard to be perfect about anything, and weeds will come out after a while. Even so, weed treatment before sowing is already the best way. Of course, pre-broadcast processing also has some shortcomings: 1, delay time. 2. More water is needed. Due to the delay of a period of time, we will miss part of the rainy season. 3. Delay in flowering.

Summer sowing

Summer sowing is suitable in most parts of our country as long as we avoid the high temperature season. Many flower species do not sprout in high temperature. The weather in early summer is changeable and the night is cooler, so it is suitable for sowing. The later the summer sowing, the greater the water demand.

Different flower types and different sowing time

Another consideration for sowing time is the type of flower species. For example, perennial varieties can be sown for most of the year, but they don't sprout or blossom at the time you want. Most perennial varieties need to go through a winter before flowering. An annual variety that grows and blossoms rapidly and dies before the frost. It means that if you sow annual seeds in midsummer, even if the climate is suitable for growth, you won't see many flowers blooming, because frosts will follow. If the sowing combination products (including both annual and perennial varieties), regardless of autumn sowing, spring sowing or early summer sowing, annual varieties bloom in the same year, while the second year is the landscape effect of perennial varieties and annual varieties with strong self-sowing ability.

About annual varieties: even if some TA varieties are sown with seeds, they will be hurt by the late spring cold after they germinate in the spring next year. Persian chrysanthemum belongs to this type, while Yu Meiren and cornflower will not be greatly affected.
