TEN STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL SMALL WILDFLOWER SEEDING
Step 1ANALYZE your site. Determine soil type (sand, silt, clay, muck), drainage,moisture, slope, and amount of sunlight. Take a soil sample and test for pH and
organic matter. Your County Cooperate Extension Service offers this testing
service. Neither a tight wet clay soil nor a droughty, infertile subsoil is suitable for
many wildflower species. It is recommended that seeding take place in Spring (mid-
May or mid-June) or dormant seeding (mid-October thru November). Althoughseeding may be done at any time, you run the risk of losing newly germinated
seedlings if either a hot, dry period or killing freeze occur before the seedlings are
well established.
Step 2SELECT proper species for your site. Choose wildflower/grass species for a
permanent planting that are perennial, native to Michigan, and grown as close to
your area as possible for better adaptability. You may wish to buy some species
separately for planting in colonies. An additional cover crop may be recommended,
especially for sloped or bare soil sites. A cover crop also helps to suppress weed
growth the first year during the slow germination period of perennials. You may
also add a carrier such as a damp sand to add more bulk to your seed. PLEASE
REMEMBER IT TAKES 3-5 YEARS FOR PERENNIALS TO BECOME WELL
ESTABLISHED.
Step 3HOW MUCHseed do I need?
Area to be coveredAmount of Perennial
SeedAmount of Annual Cover
Crop
1 acre 10 lbs. upland 20 lbs.
6 lbs. wetland
1,000 sq. feet 5 oz. upland 8 oz.
2.5 oz. wetland
Step 4ELIMINATE competitive vegetation such as quack grass, lawn sod, and persistent
perennial weeds by spraying with herbicide or by tilling for one full growing season
or by a combination of the two methods. Spray with Round-up according to label
directions. Wait two weeks and again spray areas not killed. DO NOT NEGLECT
THIS STEP or the planting will have little chance of success. A COMPLETE KILL
IS VITAL. Ideally, it is recommended that this process is repeated two or three
times to assure elimination of each seasons weeds.

10/33
Step 5PREPARE SEEDBED by raking, thatching, or burning so that about 50% of the
soil surface is showing. Removing all dead vegetation is not necessary. Scarify
(loosen or stir) soil surface with rake, thatcher or carefully controlled tiller to a
depth of one inch. Do not turn up any more new soil, as this brings new weed seeds
to the surface. Roll prior to seeding to firm the seedbed. Do not work soil further,
but seed directly.
Step 6SOW THE SEED with a hand-cranked whirlwind seeder if available. Otherwise
sow by hand using very small amounts. For larger projects, seed may be sown with
mechanical seeders. Criss-cross the seedbed several times to spread the seeds
evenly. Seed may be planted as a homogeneous mix or choose several species to seed
separately. Sow the wildflower/grass mix over the entire plot. Plant the remaining
single species in colonies or drifts. This approaches the natural state more closely,
as most species tend to grow in colonies. This also gives greater visual impact .
Interplant the species at the edges of the colonies to blur the boundaries and to
avoid a garden effect.
Step 7INCORPORATE SEEDS by raking very lightly or going over the area with a
thatcher. Some fine seeds such as penstemon and bergamot prefer no covering. A
good rule is to cover no seed deeper than its own diameter. Bare, erosive soil should
beLIGHTLYmulched with oat straw so that 50% of the soil still shows. Roll with
lawn roller or tamp small area with rake or foot so seed will make good contact with
soil. Erosion blankets are effective for holding seed in place on steep slopes.
Step 8
WATERING is not necessary but will speed germination and establishment.However, once watering is begun soil must be kept moist continuously until the
seedlings are well established.
Step 9FIRST YEAR MANAGEMENT is critical. Weeds will become the challenge the
first year. We recommend following a mowing regime for at least one year post
planting. Cut the planting to 4-6 inches whenever growth reaches 10-12 inches
throughout the first growing season. A string trimmer works well on rough terrain
or if mower cannot be set high enough. Plan to mow two to four times the first
season. See Mowing Article in Native News Link for additional information.
Step 10LONG TERM MANAGEMENT of a planting would include pulling weeds, cutting
or spot spraying with herbicide. If desired, the entire planting can be mowed in late
fall or early spring. If the site allows, burning every three years in March or early
April will help maintain a meadow planting. Do not burn the first two years, as
tender seedlings may be damaged. Be sure to obtain a burning permit or contact a
professional.
When established (3-5 years), wildflowers provide a relatively low-maintenance area
with high aesthetic and environmental quality.

We recommend an annual cover crop, especially for steep slope and bare soil sites.
A cover crop also helps to suppress weed growth the first year during theslower establishment period of most perennials.

limited number of woody plants in these plug flats as well.
They are inexpensive, lightweight and easy to
move around on site.
Individual plugs - 2.25 x 4.75 deepPlug flat - 10.75 x 21
Each flat is 1.6 square feet

Individual pot - 2 x 2 x3 deep
Flat - 9 x 18
Each flat is 1.2 square feet
Landmark deep & shallow quart containers
These are our standard, large perennial containers. Quarts are sold
individually or by the flat. We generally do not stock large numbers of individ
so if you anticipate the need for hundreds or thousands of a particular specie
please give us advance notice.
Deep quarts 4 x 4 x 5 deep
Shallow quarts 4 x 4 x 3.75 deep
Quart flat 16.75 x 12.5
Each flat is 1.5 square feet
Trade gallon containers This container is used primarily for woody mate
Although we can grow most perennials in gallons, we believe quarts and plug
a far better value. Our experience has demonstrated that a plug and a gallon
tainer, of the same species, planted in the spring will be equal in size in most
by the following season.
Woody plants grown in these gallons vary greatly in height individually and by
species. Most species range from 2-3 tall.
Gallon 6.5 diameter; 6.75 height
Allow 0.4 square feet for each gallon

our growing guideWhen using the growing guide on the following pages please
keep in mind that it lists horticultural tolerances, which in mostases indicate broader site adaptability than one might observe
n nature. Where a plant typically is found growing in its nativehabitat is not always indicative of how well it would grow in
ultivation or in a restoration setting. Also note that all nativeplants have wildlife value. We have noted in the guide only
plants that are particularly or specifically attractive to birds orbutterflies.
Please keep in mind that the plants do not read the books or surf
he web use this guide as a very general reference.

use of new nomenclatureMolecular biological techniques have been used to more
ccurately describe the taxonomic relationships betweenpecies. This has resulted in the renaming and reorganization
f a number of plant species. We are slowly incorporatinghese new names into our catalog but our primary objec-
ve is to make the catalog clear and easily referenced byur customers regardless of the prevailing nomenclature.
ynonyms are provided to assist those who are familiar withhe most current names.

whats new at Wildtype?Bills new swimmin holeOver the last several years we have been addressing water qual-
ty problems at the nursery. Unfortunately, the water from the
ew well we dug in 2008 is very high in sodium and borontwo
lements that at high levels are toxic to plants. These are natu-
ally occurring water constituents but extremely difficult and
xpensive to remove. So last year we went to plan B (more like
lan M but who is counting) and dug an irrigation pond. We are
opeful that this will solve our water quality problems. As part
of the pond digging process we designed and recreated a wet-and where one likely occurred historically. This area will allow
s to filter and recycle the water we use in the nursery. We are
lso creating some decent wildlife habitat. We are excited about
evegetating the wetland and pond in the coming years.
motherhood calls
Laura Duane has been working at Wildtype for nearly 10 years.
Laura and her husband Steve are starting a family and Laura
will be a leaving Wildtype for at least the near term. We are
xtremely happy for Laura and Steve. Best of luck, we miss you
lready. but have you on speed dial.
the catalog
Last year the catalog went through a major retrofit and we hope
our customers find it more informative and easier to use. We are
lways looking for ways to reduce our resource use and there-
ore beginning this year we will print and mail our catalog every
wo years. This will conserve a considerable amount of paper.
n addition, we have also gone to printing the catalog on paper
hat is less resource intensive. A catalog download will always be
vailable from our website.
