1. Does the chosen site support plants now? If you have an area that is naturally void of any plants, including unwanted weeds, the area is unlikely to support wildflowers.

2. If rainfall is inadequate during germination and the seedling establishment, can you supply supplemental water if necessary?

3. Does the area receive a minimum of eight hours of direct sunlight per day?

4. Have you determined the existing soil type and drainage within the area? Poorly drained or heavily compacted soils will produce unsatisfactory results.
