Our Native British Wildflowers range has been developed from research conducted by Butterfly Conservation, BBKA, RSPB and the Woodland Trust.
A colourful alternative to lawns and borders. Collection contains five individual packets of wild flower seed (should any of the varieties stated be unavailable, we will substitute with another first class item) which gives a lovely selection of colour. Varieties included: Marigold Corn, Daisy Ox-eye, Pansy Wild, Scabious Field, Poppy Field.

Thin resultant seedlings to their final spacings, as follows: Poppy 15cm (6″), Scabious 30cm (12″), Corn Marigold 10cm (4″). For Ox-eye Daisy and Pansy sow February-March under glass at about 15-20°C (60-68°F) and grow on before planting outside in late May/early June. Space the Pansy about 15cm (6″) apart and the Ox-eye Daisy 25cm (10″) apart. AFTERCARE – Maintain moisture in dry periods. All varieties except Scabious will flower from June to August.
