You can find a lot of pretty terrible "wildflower" seed for sale. It might include species which might not naturally occur in Britain, or odd mixes of flowers, some of which aren't wildflowers at all. Others are imported from as far away as China.

If you want wildflower seed you need species occurring here naturally, ideally harvested from (originally) wild plant populations.

Genuine UK Seed

All the wildflower seed we sell has UK origin and provenance.

Our community of suppliers includes most of the best wildflower seed producers in the UK. Many harvest seed in a completely sustainable way from beautiful and often ancient British donor meadow sites. These mixes have very high floral content, and a high diversity of perennial native wildflower and meadow grass species. They offer exceptional value for money. These meadow seed mixes are ideal for Biodiversity Net Gain projects; ask us!

We also sell some seed mixes which are made up of pre-determined %s of species, for different soil types or situations. We randomly test these for content and good germination. The wildflowers and grasses in these are UK native species. The wildflower seed is originally from wild populations here and the grass seed is certified.

We've been making wildflower meadows since 2003 and selling seed from 2008. We're licenced by DEFRA.

Why do we specialise in traditional perennial meadow mixes? We love the aesthetic of wildflower meadows. They're not only one of our most beautiful and biodiverse habitats but one of our most threatened - we've  destroyed nearly all of them here over the last 80 years and those remaining are largely unprotected.

Wildflower meadows are amazing habitats for many animals; from bees, butterflies and moths to  beetles and hoverflies, crickets and skylarks. They're all unique, developing according to location, local conditions and management.

Meadows are also resilient carbon sinks, and helpful in preventing flooding. By making your own wildflower meadow area - however small! - you're making a real contribution to nature in the UK. Thank you!

What Soil Do I Have?

If you're not sure what kind of soil you have and if it's appropriate for wildflowers, please ask. Soil type is more important than geographic location when working out which seed mix is most appropriate for you.
