Q Tara • August 17 Hi there, is winter wheat good for mixing with prairie flower seeds for a late fall sowing, or is it better to sow it by itself in early fall and let it germinate a bit, and sow the prairie seeds the following spring after the WW is tilled into the soil? I live in MN. Thank you!

A Prairie Moon • August 19 Hi Tara, We recommend sowing the winter wheat in the early fall, and mow it back to 4-8 inches as it gets to be about 1 foot high. Sow your prairie seeds into the mowed wheat in late fall. The following year, keep everything mowed to 4-8 inches throughout the growing season.
