Are there flowering or grass seeds that I could simply throw on the ground and take root(without digging)?

I'm just curious to know an inexpensive and easy way to bring some color to my yard. Also, I have tried to throw some grass seeds (and a lot of them) down without digging up my yard and so far they seem to just blow around and float to one side of my yard when it rains.

I take it you have no grass at all in your yard at all. I do not suggest you waste any more money on anything until you at least scratch the ground before spreading seed. You can purchase some Bermuda grass seed and if you only do a small section at a time (scratch and plant) you can get it going that way.

Reply:I think that any seed would grow and take root from the surface. Naturally they fall and lay on the surface.

The advantage of digging is that you can choose the place and that birds are not going to eat them.
Reply:Most grasses are surface sown, but you need to cover with some loose straw or hay to keep them in place until they germinate. Keep moist and it will do fine!
Reply:Petunia !!!!!!!!!! .. petunias need light to germinate..... as far as your seeds blowing or washing away...... use a rake to scratch the top soil so the seeds have a place to nestle in.... get all snuggly................
