Seed mixes

A choice of British wildflower seeds and grass mixes, ideal for creating wildflower meadows. Most are available throughout the year but AUTUMN and SPRING are best for sowing. Yellow Rattle should be sown in the autumn, before Christmas.

 

The meadow mixes are perennial species of native wild flowers and grasses which take time to establish, so consider sowing some Cornfield Annuals seed at the same time to give you a splash of colour in the first year.  

Seed mixes can usually be despatched within 3-4 working days.  Let us know if it's urgent.

Do read our seeding advice for important information on how to prepare, seed and maintain a wildflower area.  It can take some years to establish a rich wildflower meadow but it's worth the wait.  The native grasses included in these mixes are important foodplants for many butterfly and moth caterpillars.

 

Do not be tempted to sow meadow mixes at double the recommended seeding rate, because the grasses will germinate first and then there would not be sufficient space for the wild flowers.  It will look patchy in the first year but that is necessary for the flower species to have the space and light they require.
