Beds can be irrigated at this time if practical. Once the wildflowers are planted, little or no maintenance is required unless there is an extended dry period. If possible, periodic watering prolongs the blooming period. A slow-release fertilizer may be applied in late winder to insure good growth. Some perennials bloom the first year while others only grow vegetatively and flower the following year.
Annuals bloom the first season, set seed and many successfully reseed themselves.
To fill in bare spots, break the soil and lightly rake in the seed. If the seed is not harvested, mow once a year to remove old infloresences and further distribute the seed.
