FAQs

How do I choose the right wildflower seed mix for my garden?

Firstly, go for a seed mix which you like the look of – this is very important! Secondly, the beneficial bugs around you love native flowers, so do a bit of digging as to what grows well in your area. Some varieties are specifically made for pollinators, whilst others follow a colour theme if you’re after a particular shade.

When is the best time to plant wildflower seeds?

Scatter your wildflower seeds in Spring, after the last frost date, which will give beautiful blooms throughout summer.

How do I prepare the soil for planting wildflower seeds?

Wildflower seeds aren’t fussed by fancy compost or fertiliser, just remove any weeds, and loosen the soil with a garden fork before planting.

How much water do wildflowers need?

You should aim to keep the soil a little moist whilst the wildflower seeds are growing, though most native wildflower seed mixes are pretty well adapted to the local climate once they’re established, making them super low maintenance.

Can I grow wildflowers in pots?

You can grow wildflowers in plant pots or planters if the container has enough depth. Place in a sunny spot, and remember to keep on top of watering as pots will dry out faster than flowerbeds.
