Our Native British Wildflowers range has been developed from research conducted by Butterfly Conservation, BBKA, RSPB and the Woodland Trust.
In this seed mix there are over 30 native species of wildflower of which many species are known for their fragrance. The aroma can often be released by crushing the leaves of plants whereas some flowers release fragrance in the cooler night air which helps to create an aromatic garden, or area within a garden.
Perfect for planting in domestic flower beds, containers and large pots, area coverage is 1-2 square metres depending on how thickly sown. Flowers late June-early October.
Growing Information
To prepare for sowing, clear the area of vegetation in advance and cultivate the top 5cm (2″). There is no need to dig too deep as doing so would also bring potentially unwanted weed seed to the surface. In an ideal world, allow any existing seed to germinate and kill/remove the seedlings. Rake over the area to create a fine tilth and sow the seeds lightly on the surface. Lightly rake or tread in the seed. Do not bury the seed too deep as it may hinder germination. Keep moist.
