Wildflower seeds
Here's everything you need to know about your wildflowers
Seed Revolution started as a quest to save Britain’s natural beauty. But this isn’t just about beauty—wild flowers are crucial to supporting and protecting biodiversity.
Without wildflowers, we have no bees, and without bees, our entire food system is at risk.
Improving biodiversity is a key aspect in regenerative farming, helping to improve soil health and natural pest control, increase pollination, and create more resilience to environmental changes. All of this leads to more sustainable and productive food systems—one of many reasons why we champion producers farming in this way.
And you can help too, with a solution that is as easy as it is beautiful.
Save bees. Save humanity. Grow wild.
In your packet, you’ll receive up to 18 different varieties from poppies to corncockle, and this diverse mix will range from 20cm to 1 metre, supporting a variety of pollinators and creating a striking scape.
You can plant at any time, but the best time to plant your meadow mix is in the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to October).
These months are the ideal temperatures and moisture conditions for seeds to germinate and thrive.
Choose an open, sunny location with well-drained soil. Meadow wildflowers thrive in areas with full sun and minimal shade.
Avoid spots prone to waterlogging, as this can hinder seed germination and plant growth.
For the quickest and most cost-effective approach, simply scatter the seeds directly onto bare soil. This method requires minimal preparation but has a lower success rate as it relies heavily on natural conditions.
Clear the area of any debris and lightly rake the soil to create a loose surface. Evenly scatter the seeds across the soil, then lightly rake to secure them.
For better results, especially in areas prone to aggressive weeds, use a terram membrane. This method involves laying a terram membrane over the planting area to suppress weed growth. On top of the membrane, add a layer of calcareous soil, which is rich in calcium and ideal for many wildflowers.
Sow the seeds evenly across the soil surface and gently press them in to ensure good contact. This is more expensive and labour-intensive, but you’ll be rewarded with a successful and vibrant meadow.
Your meadow mix will bloom from late spring through summer (May to August), varying slightly depending on your local climate and the specific wildflowers in your unique mix.
