Sow direct into prepared soil in early spring or autumn. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded site with well-drained, low-fertility soil. Rake to a fine tilth and scatter seeds evenly. Firm down lightly but do not cover with compost or soil.

Water gently in dry conditions until established. Germination usually takes 2–4 weeks depending on temperature. Some species may flower in the first year, while others are slower to establish and will shine in years two and three.

Avoid feeding or fertilising, this will favour grasses over wildflowers. After flowering, cut back in late summer, leaving clippings for a few days to allow seed to fall. For containers or edible borders, deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and harvest blooms at their best.
