Wheel of the year wildflower seeds
OSTARA seed packet - native wildflower Bluebell seeds
Sowing bluebell seed
Sowing bluebell seed is much easier than planting bulbs
6-10 weeks after sowing the radicles are elongated and about 4-6cm in length
Depending on your situation and levels of shade, weed control may be necessary. The seed should germinate pretty soon and, though you will see a few flowers in the third spring, full flowering will occur in the fourth spring.
Sprinkle seeds over your new planting surface you have made and then water your planted area. The water will push the seeds into the soft soil just enough for them to grow. (Wildflower Seeds only want to be in the ground as deep as the seeds are long). Keep your soil evenly moist while the seeds are growing. Planting seeds this way is called direct sowing, and it is an easy process that yields great results.
This is not a plant that you will be able to use medicinally, but its enchanting look will make any garden turn into a magical fairy realm.
