How to plant wildflowers in Zone 6b.
Zone 6b's 185-day season is ideal for full perennial wildflower establishment in the first year. Prepare a weed-free seed bed, scatter at the recommended rate, and press into soil. For fall dormant seeding, sow November 1–15 after soil cools below 40°F to prevent early germination. Water the first 4–6 weeks in spring if April is dry.
