This diverse, native wildflower seeds mixture really excels with nearly 30 carefully chosen species of the very best native wildflowers, offering a rich, sustainable habitat and a balanced display of natural colour. Wildflowers are the very life blood of the countryside with many of our most endangered butterflies and insects relying on this type of habitat as a natural food source for survival. Not only do colourful wildflowers play a vital role within our countries delicate ecosystem, the natural attraction to native and migrating butterflies can be very rewarding and also very pleasing to the eye.

Add Native Wildflower Seeds (We recommend 5 to 20% total) to any quantity of Basic or Diverse Meadow Seeds

Over seeding into existing grassland or meadows can be successful providing the sward is sparce, slow growing or non competitive. Any aggresive or fast growing grass species will simply smother new seedlings before they have a chance to become established, particularly in the spring when grassland and meadows are heading (flowering and producing seeds).

For the best results, broadcast these seeds on to a fine and clean seedbed. Weeds should be controlled with a herbicide before sowing takes place and soil fertility should be reasonably low. Most wildflower species take 6-12 months to establish before flowering so we have included native cornfield annuals for a little first year colour.

Never apply fertiliser to a wildflower area.
