Wildflowers thrive in environments that mimic their native habitats. They prefer well-drained soils with good aeration and thrive in full sun conditions. Choosing native species specific to your region increases the chances of success. Minimal interference from fertilizers or pesticides is ideal, as many wildflowers prefer nutrient-poor soils and attract a diverse range of pollinators when left unaltered. Wildflowers often benefit from slightly disturbed environments, such as the edges of meadows where competition from taller vegetation is reduced.
