Regular price
£14.99
Not sure about your soil? Unsure whether your garden is technically a border, patch, plot or mild cry for help? Spread the Wild is the easy going answer.
This 100% wildflower mix contains 15 hardy species selected for a broad range of garden conditions, with no added grasses and plenty of colour for pollinators.
This is a 100% wildflower mix.
Wildflowers included:
When to sow
For best results, sow from March to May or August to October.
Where to sow
Choose bare soil in sun or light partial shade. Avoid thick grass, heavy weeds and permanently waterlogged ground.
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
3 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.
Keep damp during germination, remove obvious weeds and do not feed. Leave some seed heads after flowering, then cut back and remove the cuttings.
Flowering
Late spring through summer, with timing varying between species.
Height
Around 20 cm to 1 metre.
What to expect
Annuals may flower in the first season, while perennial species become stronger in later years. The mix may look different each season as plants settle into the site.
Wildlife value
The flowers provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies, hoverflies and other visiting insects.
We want your seeds to grow. If you follow our sowing instructions, give them a fair chance, and they still do not grow, we’ll put it right.
Eligible customers can choose either a refund for the seeds that did not grow, or replacement seeds of the same value.
