After the growing season until March.
Sowing window:
Spring (March - June)
Sowing method:
Sowing depth 1 - 2 cm. Agricultural field margins may contain weeds. We recommended making a false seedbed before sowing the flowers. This method prepares the seedbed a few weeks before sowing the flowers, so the weeds can germinate. These weeds can then be removed before sowing the flower seeds.
Soil type:
All soils. Development of flower species will differ per location, year and soil type.
