Harvested Meadow Mixes
Our community of suppliers includes most of the best wildflower seed producers in the UK, some of them teeny tiny. Many harvest seed in a completely sustainable way from beautiful and often ancient British donor meadow sites.
These harvested 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!
Constructed Seed Mixes
We do also sell some seed mixes which are made up of pre-determined %s of species, for different soil types or situations. These typically include 30% wildflowers. Increasingly, the standard 20:80 - or 10:90 wildflowers to grasses mixes you can find elsewhere don't cut it. Nitrogen deposition and warmer winters mean they're a false economy on anything but the most skeletal soils.
The wildflower seed in these mixes is originally from wild populations here and the grass seeds are certified cultivars.

Let customers speak for us
from 499 reviewsBought the Kent wildflower mix. Very helpful guidance online and on the packet for preparation, seeding rates, nutrition etc. Seedbed prepped. Waiting for the rain to stop before sowing. Product arrived at the time promised (~2 day turnaround) and in good nick. Overall an excellent experience.
I will send some pics of bare area and when my seeds are flowering
The seeds were bountiful, clean and large and well packed. Very impressive.
The only fly in the ointment was Royal Mail, who provided me with a tracking number which failed to work at all. In the end, I met the postman, quite by chance, at the gate and he handed the envelope over to me.
I have bought wildflower seeds from British Wildflower Seeds for a number of years and I am a happy customer. Each pack comes with planting instructions and I am very happy with the number of wildflower species in each pack. My wildflower garden looks lovely.
A speedy response to my request for 200gms of yellow rattle seeds meant my community wildflower project went ahead!
Excellent service all round, prompt delivery and fresh seed. Now sown and hopefully a more manageable wildflower meadow once the yellow rattle reduces the vigour of the grasses.
I’m impressed with the quality of the seed, it all looked very good. I have sown it and can’t wait to see results. Thank you for the quick delivery.
The yellow rattle seed I ordered was delivered very quickly and was well packaged. The pack comes with clear instructions on preparing the ground for and sowing the seeds.
I will now have to wait and see how they germinate.
Web site is easy to navigate and to order what I wanted.There is also a lot of advice. Delivery was as promised. Couldn’t ask for more really.
I love buying from your company, your website is excellent as is your delivery of my order, I have prepared the ground as suggested and have now seeded the area, and the following day we had rain, so, perfect, just got to wait and see what grows.
Great service and clear guidance on the back of the seed packet. Seeds now sown so looking forward to seeing what comes up over the months, it looks like a great collection of wild flowers. Thank you
Special General Meadow Seed Mix
Species content looks to be fine - will only be able to check and/or when germination occurs. I have separated out a small number of larger seeds to try getting them to germinate into seedlings in pots in the spring!
Easy ordering and seeds delivered in time frame given. So far, so good
Seeds arrived very quickly, beautifully packaged and with instructions for sewing - perfect!! Would definitely order again in the future.
Prompt delivery, good customer care. Still to sow etc.
