How we sell our wildflowers...
We sell over 30 varieties of UK native wildflower, over the course of a year.
We pride ourselves on being a bit different to most nurseries and online sellers. Our plugs are HUGE (yes, that's an adult's hand!).
They start at just £2.50 each for an established perennial plant - only a little dearer than mini-plugs a tenth of that size, and way cheaper than garden centre potted perennials. We've paid much more for a cup of tea at events!
Even our dearest plants are less than £4.
There is even an option to pre-order large collections of wildflowers for less than £1.15 per garden-ready perennial.
AND HERE IS WHY WE SELL SUCH BIG PLANTS...
Sowing is notoriously random, and for many varieties a pretty ineffective way of establishing wildflowers (although it works for some).
This is because most perennial wildflowers take 1-2 seasons to establish. Many need a winter to germinate.
Half of the varieties we sell, will not flower in their first year if you sow them or plant mini-plugs from other sellers.
By then, most projects are overwhelmed by weeds/grasses.
Mini-plugs are too small to plant straight out, and are often blighted by birds, mice and invertebrates.
Our 20cm (6 inch) plugs are already 6-12 months old, with huge root-balls. They are big enough to survive most animal damage and can come back from the root.
This means they establish and compete around 3x better than mini-plugs, and 10x better than sowing - in our considerable experience. Establishing a meadow from seed can take 3-7 years. This way, you can do it in 6-18 months!
They can be planted straight into their final positions - even in grassland. This means you have complete control over where you put your wildflowers (unlike sowing).
Wildflower A-Z
30+ varieties on sale, over the course of a year.
Great 'all-rounder' wildflowers
Cope with most conditions, and most gardeners!
All of this group will grow on a range of soils and flower freely from year 1. They cope with up to 50% shade throughout the day.
Wildflowers for grassland meadows...
...Or a standard sunny wild border.
Try these by plugging into grassland after cutting. They all benefit from an autumn cut, and will come again. Some will spread.
Wildflowers for shade, and under trees
Orchards, Woodland edge, shady corners, Hedge bottoms. Or North-facing.
Meadowsweet and Hemp Agrimony don't like dry shade.
Wildflowers to compete with tall, dense vegetation
Tall grassy banks, ditch-edges, hedge bottoms, rich meadow pasture, weedy wild spots.
This is you accepting that the conditions favour big weeds like tall grass, Cow Parsley, Nettle, Thistle, Dock etc. You can interplant these wildflowers - they are big and strong.
Wildflowers for very dry, sunny, well drained conditions (including chalk/gravel)
Baked in hot weather, holding little moisture.
It still doesn't hurt to water weekly in dry conditions, if you can do so responsibly.
Wildflowers for a flowering lawn...
Mow every 10-28 days, on a high setting.
You'll get superb flowering in between, but can take 3-5 years to look its best.
Wildflowers for damp/wet conditions...
Damp soils, ditches, damp grassland, damp hedge bottom, pond edge, bog.
Yellow Flag Iris can be completely submerged.
Wildflowers with special qualities...
4 very special wildflowers in this group.
Yellow Rattle helps reduce grass and weed vigour, benefiting wildflowers.
Bird's Foot Trefoil is the food plant of 5 UK butterfly caterpillars (particularly the 'Blues') - plus the Burnet Moth. You can encourage a breeding population.
Common Sorrel attracts Small Copper Butterflies to breed.
Cuckoo Flower attracts Orange Tip Butterflies to breed.
Wildflowers for containers...
Raised beds, large pots and baskets, any container with drainage and ordinary compost will work.
Wildflowers for heavy clay...
Wet in winter, dry cracks in summer.
All of these plants will benefit from watering in drought, if you can do so responsibly.
