❄️Nature's Trick: How Snow Helps Wildflower Seeds
Manage episode 461158147 series 3506945
Hey there, backyard buddies! Ken and Lisa Lain, the Top 10 Gardeners, here, to answer your gardening questions!
This week, we're exploring the fascinating way snow helps wildflower seeds germinate.🌸
Did you know that those icy flakes act like nature's sandpaper? The freeze-thaw cycle of winter gently breaks down the tough outer coating of wildflower seeds, allowing them to sprout more easily come spring. It's a natural process called Scarification, and it's essential for many native wildflowers.
So, if you're planning a wildflower meadow, scatter those seeds on top of the snow and let Mother Nature do her work! For best results, mix the seeds with Watters Premium Mulch to deter hungry birds and ensure even distribution.
