Its important to use native Irish wildflower seed.

I’m planting wildflower I don’t want to grow potatoes 🥔 🥴

[@genevieveblair1259]

I am confused on when is the right time to sow wildflower seeds. I understand fall is the best time. But, its spring now and i want to start now. Currently its march 20th here in Germany. Do i sow now, or do i need to wait untill all chances of frost are over somewhere towards the end of April? Also, if i start a patch in spring, do i have to do anything to it in the fall? Thank you

You can sow in spring as well. This might help: ua-cam.com/video/L2_IubOsInM/v-deo.html

Also, the seeds might not need to be protected from frost. But once they germinate, seedlings will get affected by a late frost.

Same, except it's summer Noel 12th July although summer hasn't arrived yet, at least I won't need to water them in 😂
