Mini Meadow Wild Flower Seed is perfect for producing a small, beautiful and valuable habitat for bees, butterflies and insects.
Suitable for small and large gardens alike with two available sizes, all you require is a small (3m2 for 500ml, 10m2 for 1.2L) patch of garden and you can have your very own Mini Meadow which will attract and support a wide range of wildlife.
Easy to sow, Mini Meadow contains wild flower seeds, a soil conditioner and rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi, all designed to make the process of sowing easy and to maximise the chances of good germination and strong early growth.
Each Mini Meadow will contain a mix of UK native wild flowers including cornflower, poppies, oxeye daisies, corn marigolds and many more.
This seed mix can be used by experienced and new gardeners as it requires very little after-care and is a valuable tool to teach children the importance of bio-diversity in gardening.
Ideally sow in the spring or autumn. Wild flowers can be sensitive to competition from weeds so prepare your ground by clearing weeds and other debris.
Rake over an area of 3m2 for 500ml and 10m2 for 1.2L to level the soil leaving a rough surface for the seeds to fall into. Spread the contents of the packet across the prepared area and water the seeds in. Keep well watered.
Seed germination will vary but should commence within 28 days (depending on environmental conditions).
Once the flower heads have gone over simply mow off at the end of the season.
