What are Wildflowers?
Technically speaking, wildflowers are simply flowers that grow naturally in the wild. There are two types of flowers; Annual and perennial. Annual flowers tend to just live for one year whereas perennial wildflowers grow back every year. Wildflowers occur all around the world and there are a huge variety of species that sit under that umbrella, but we work with expert partners to source wildflowers that are from the UK and ensure that there are no species of weeds in the seed stock. When we pick wildflowers for planting, we carefully consider the purpose of the ground and select the flowers that would be best suited for the environment and for their purpose.
Ideally Treated in Winter
Winter is the perfect time to undertake the installation of wildflower meadows. During winter the grass and land is dormant, frost permeates the soil and helps to break it down naturally. Preparing the ground in winter ensures that by spring it is ready to finish preparation and sewing of seeds, the soil will produce a better tilth – creating the ideal conditions for your wildflower meadow to flourish.

Why wildflowers?
Wildflowers are very resilient species of plants that grow naturally in the wild. This resilience makes them a very interesting and beneficial alternative to grass. Increasingly, estates, farms and local authorities are turning to wildflowers as a more environmentally sustainable solution. Here we list some of the benefits:
- Wildflowers require a lot less maintenance than traditional grass solutions, and they don’t need to be mowed or maintained as often. This helps to cut down on costs and carbon emissions, making them economically and environmentally friendly.
- Wildflowers are very hearty and can thrive on often dry areas such as verges.
- They’re capable of providing stability to slopes and hills.
- Wildflowers are beautiful to look at and provide pleasant aesthetics along with their functionality.
- Depending on the seeds, wildflowers can help capture carbon and they can also attract wildlife such as bees
All this makes wildflowers a perfect solution. If you would like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
