Genuine British Wildflower Seed
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. 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.

Let customers speak for us
from 377 reviewsThe website is easy to understand and navigate. My seeds arrived promptly and included advice on how to sow them.
How lovely are these, did very little ground prep, just a good rake, sowed these on valentines day, slow to start, but did water through the dry spell, 4 months later, boom! Rewarded with this lovely display, the bees are loving it, plenty of hover flies, no butterflies yet, but not disappointed.
Very good service and easy to use website.
The choice of species in this pack was excellent and proved to be one of the larger standard packs available. Delivery was pretty much next day and now they’ve been sown, it’s sit back and wait for some rain!
The seeds arrived the day following the order - superb service. Having compared prices across a number of sites British Wildflower Seeds were by far the best value. The seeds were sown today so fingers crossed we get some rain!
I have purchased wildflower seeds from other companies in the past and when they have arrived they were full of mixed grasses as well. This seed has no grasses - hooray. I just now have to watch for the results. No issues and fast delivery. Thanks
Very impressed with how quick these seeds came to us. Good thing too as we wanted to sow prior to the springtime window closing. The British Wildflower Seeds we have ordered in the past and on this occasion are great quality, also beautifully and sustainably packaged. Our front law meadow that appears to mostly be in shade throughout the day has taken a while to fully develop, but hopefully with this seed we’ll get a bit more success. Advice given via e-mail was very helpful and detailed, which we were very grateful for.
The seeds arrived promptly by royal mail and were well packaged ( no plastic or unnecessary frills appreciated).
There was an interesting mix of seeds which was not dominated by grass. We showed them yesterday in a relatively small area of the grounds after it had rained, we look forward to seeing what comes up.
We will let you know and hopefully send pictures. Thank you
Thanks for the opportunity to buy some of what sound like wonderful wildflower seed mixes. I doubled up on bees and butterflies & moths. The seeds arrived in good time for sowing. Fingers crossed!
Really helpful website with wide range of seeds. Very good to have details about what suits different soil. Delivered very quickly.
we looking forward to seeing the beautiful flowers appearing.
I almost went to buy a generic wildflower seed mix from Amazon but so glad I didn’t. I stumbled across the britishwildflowermeadowseeds.co.uk web site and was immediately impressed by the various seed mixes available depending on soil type. After a couple of email exchanges with Nick to figure out which mix would be best for my location I ended up purchasing the Special General Meadow Seed Mix.
The seeds arrived within 72 hours of placing my order and they are now sitting in the kitchen waiting for me to scatter them once the weather has warmed up. So far so good ……
I’ve yet to sow as I’m waiting for frosty morning to end but so far, my experience with British Wildflower Seeds has been great. Looking forward to summer
Called and talked to support before making my purchase and am excited to see how it goes. Ask me in the fall
Great customer service to help me find the right mix and amount and provide directions for success. Ask me again in the fall and I’ll tell you how it went.
