Planting

When to sow

For best results, sow from March to May or August to October.

Where to sow

Sow on bare, acidic soil in sun or light partial shade. Avoid heavily fertilised ground and dense existing grass.

How to sow

Remove existing grass and weeds to expose bare soil. Lightly rake the surface, scatter the seed evenly, then gently press or tread it into the soil. Do not bury the seed deeply.

Sowing rate

5 g per m².

Measurements and timings are only a guide. Growing is not an exact science, so do not worry if everything is not perfectly placed.

Nurture

Keep the surface damp during germination and remove obvious weeds. Do not feed. Cut the meadow back after flowering once seed has fallen, then remove the cuttings.

Results

Flowering

Mainly from late spring to late summer.

Height

Approximately 20 cm to 1 metre.

What to expect

The grasses begin creating structure while perennial flowers establish gradually. Some species may flower in the first year, but the meadow should become fuller and more varied over several seasons.

Wildlife value

The flowers provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies, hoverflies and other visiting insects.
