Planting instructions: Seedbed or area to be seeded should be prepared by light cultivation and weed removal. The optimum planting season is November 15 through March 31, just before anticipated rain. Broadcast seed evenly over the soil surface. Rake the area lightly to incorporate seed into the top 1/4″- 1/2″ of soil. A top dressing of composted organic mulch (not manure) is recommended to help maintain even moisture during the germination period.
Maintenance: Irrigate just enough (between rains) to maintain soil moisture during
germination. After germination until initial flowering, sprinkle the area to a depth of about 2″.
After flowering, little to no supplemental water should be needed.
