Forest of Flowers Wildflower Seed Mix
Forest of Flowers Wildflower Seed Mix - *2024 Mix Now Available*
This mix is perfect for creating a wildflower area, with a well-balanced selection of 41 native UK species. It includes annual, biennial and perennial wildflowers chosen for maximising biodiversity and supporting wildlife.
The mix offers a long season of flowering, from March (Coltsfoot) to September (Tansy, Common Knapweed) ensuring an excellent source of food for pollinators and other wildlife.
Yellow rattle and Red bartsia (known as 'Meadow Maker' species) are included to help suppress grass and allow the other wildflowers to thrive.
