Can I sow wildflower seeds on grass?

Yes, but you’ll get better results if you prepare the area first. Either remove the turf completely and sow onto bare soil, or mow very short and scarify to expose soil so the wildflower seeds can make good contact and germinate.

How long do wildflower seeds last?

If stored cool and dry, most wildflower seeds will stay viable for around 2–3 years. Germination is usually best in the first year, so try to sow them as fresh as possible for a fuller meadow.

Do wildflowers come back every year?

Many wildflower species in this mix are perennials or short-lived perennials, so once established they can return year after year. Others are annuals that reseed themselves, helping the meadow to renew naturally over time.

When is the best time to sow wildflower meadow seeds in the UK?

The best times to sow wildflower meadow seeds in the UK are autumn and early spring. Autumn sowings benefit from winter weather to help seeds settle and germinate, while spring sowings get going as the soil warms.

Do wildflower seeds need full sun, and are they good for bees and butterflies?

Wildflower meadows look their best in full sun, but many of the species in this mix will also grow in light or dappled shade. The flowers are rich in pollen and nectar, making them ideal wildflower seeds for bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

I haven't planted the seeds yet but if they're as good as the ones I've brought in the past I'll be more than happy.
