Why Wildflower seeds?

Adding native wildflowers into a small area of your garden will provide more food for pollinators like bees and butterflies, as well as other insects. The more wildflowers you plant, the greater your impact will be on your local pollinators. Over a third of the world’s food relies on insects to pollinate them. Without insects, we’d need to artificially pollinate most of our favourite fruit and veg.

Planting wildflowers will bring benefits to your local bees and butterflies, as well as brightening up any area.

You can introduce wildflowers in a range of areas:

• Your whole lawn
• A section of your garden
• In raised beds
• In window boxes
• Plant pots
• Your allotment

You can also work with your local community, school or council to get permission to introduce wildflowers to community green spaces, playing fields and parks.

The larger the area you can add wildflowers to, the greater the benefit to local wildlife!

The only specification for planting wildflowers is that the area needs to be open and sunny. If your planting area is shaded then you should look at planting woodland wildflowers as they will be more likely to thrive.

Wildflowers grow best in low quality soil, so do not use compost or any fertiliser as that will allow grasses to grow that out-compete the flowers. If your soil is rich then you may need to remove the top 3-6 inches of top soil to ensure that the conditions are right for growing wildflowers.
