How to Plant Watermelon from Seed

Preparing the Site

Generally, most wildflower species will thrive inan area with full to partial sun exposure, sand to loam soil types, and good drainage.

When to Plant Seeds

  • Fall Planting: Ideal for perennial wildflowers, allowing seeds to undergo natural cold stratification over winter.
  • Spring Planting: Suitable for annual and biennial wildflowers, once the danger of frost has passed.

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
  2. Remove weeds, grass, and debris to create a bare soil surface.
  3. Loosen the soil with a rake or tiller and mix in a small amount of compost if necessary.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Mix seeds with sand or sawdust to ensure even distribution.
  2. Scatter seeds evenly over the soil surface.
  3. Lightly press the seeds into the soil (do not bury them deeply).
  4. Water gently and keep the soil consistently moist until germination.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays with light, well-draining potting mix.
  2. Sow seeds lightly on the surface and mist with water.
  3. Keep at a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
  4. Once seedlings develop strong roots, transplant them outdoors.
