Description
Ideal for woodland areas, this British wildflower mixture contains 18 native species which will tolerate heavy shade. This is a 100% perennial mix. While some species will take several years to fully establish, particularly those which must form a bulb first such as the British Bluebell. When established, this mix is complemented well by native wildflower bulbs such as snowdrops and bluebells to provide the earliest colour and interest and food for the earliest pollinators.
All the native wildflower seed in our mixtures is sourced from stock grown in the wild in Britain. It is then multiplied up commercially and mixed and packed in the UK so you can be confident you are buying native British wildflower seed.
For best results sow in the spring from March through to May, or in the autumn, from late August through to October. Best sown onto a bare seedbed, or an existing grass sward with at least 50% bare soil.
