How to grow wildflowers - add colour to your garden all summer long...

So sweet to include the little girl. Charlotte seems like such a gentle mother

I would add, consider also, whether you want to water the plants over the summer. Don't go for borage family in a dry bed if you don't want to water weekly. Be aware that if you direct sow, slugs may eat all. If adding a wild flower seed mix, choose one without grasses. Be aware too that all seed needs a long wet period (months) for the seed to germinate and grow. Nothing will happen if they get dry. You need to pay attention and water if there no rain.

Thank you, Alexandra, for providing the most valuable information about growing wildflowers. We live in Western Pennsylvania and are planning to take a relatively small part of our property and establish a wildflower garden. The timing of this video is perfect!

Adorable little girls who loves her mom❤️! Thank you, Alexandra, I love all your videos!!

I'm always excited to see a new video uploaded 😸

This is a lovely trend. Thanks for the tips! Like your Kent mix, a local seed supplier, West Coast Seeds, sells a wildflower mix especially for our area. It's great that the availability and selection of native plants is increasing.

Another trip to Dreamland. I so enjoy your videos. This one especially. I have had such great luck with a wildflower mix I order from Nature Made for my area. I planted mine in a child's wagon the plastic Radio Flyer. I used old potting soil from potted plants the year before. Needless to say I over planted and had to remove some monstrous Cosmos that were talking over. Also another warning! Because I over planted in the wagon container in my hot, humid climate (heat index 112 F today) I am watering twice a day without fail unless we get a good soaking rain. Thanks for the smiles. See you soon.

I cannot believe that you made this video, just as I need it. Thank you!

Great video, I love how "controlled" wildflowers look in combination with regular gardens. Thank you so much for all the information and tips!

Looks beautiful

7:15 My heart just melted....

This was a veritable mine of information! I’ve tried numerous times to create a mini meadow…all I get is ox eye daisies….so then I just tried to achieve a small wildflower patch…nothing germinated at all! I was assuming it’s my heavy clay soil but now I’m thinking I’m not getting the seed depth right - I’m going too deep or too shallow, I suspect, and I’m not doing good enough prep. The carefree scattering with wild abandon approach definitely does not work! 🥴

Those wildflowers are so beautiful 🌸🌱🌼🌝👍

Great video Alexandra. It was interesting to hear you have a problem with bind weed over there, I have been fighting to no avail bindweed in my lawn and gardens for years here in Colorado

The only wildflowers I've been successful at are California poppies. That's because I live in California!

Great show! Good to see more folks taking on the task of helping their local ecosystem.

Hi Alexandra. There is also the possibility that, either the annual/biennial flowers will self-seed, or you might consider harvesting the seed from them yourself to sow next year.

Such great information! Thank you, Alexandra.

Hey, great video thank you, my wildflower meadows were crushed by the rain, so they re stand back up? I was constantly trying to keep them up, how do I control this?
