Ideal for woodland areas, this British wildflower mixture contains 18 native species which will tolerate heavy shade. This is a 100% perennial mix, designed to create a long-lasting natural habitat. Unlike annual wildflowers, which need full sun to thrive, perennials take time to establish, and you should not expect blooms in the first year. Some species will flower in year 2, while others may take 3–4 years to mature before producing their first flowers. Patience is rewarded, however, with a sustainable, self-renewing wildflower area that will return year after year.

This mix is beautifully complemented by native wildflower bulbs such as snowdrops and bluebells, which provide the earliest colour and interest in spring, as well as valuable food sources for early pollinators.

All the native wildflower seed in our mixtures is sourced from stock grown in the wild in Britain. It is then multiplied up commercially and mixed and packed in the UK so you can be confident you are buying native British wildflower seed.

For best results sow in the spring from March through to May, or in the autumn, from late August through to October. Best sown onto a bare seedbed, or an existing grass sward with at least 50% bare soil.
