Forest of Flowers Wildflower Seed Mix
*2026 Mix Now Available*
Our Forest of Flowers Wildflower Seed Mix contains a highly diverse range of 43 species, carefully chosen to benefit wildlife while producing a long-lasting, colourful display.
Flowers from Year 1: Annuals provide an early burst of colour while slower-growing plants establish.
More flowers from Year 2 onwards: Biennials and perennials gradually take over as they mature, providing long-lasting wildlife benefits, and flowers returning year-on-year.
Less grass, more wildflowers: Yellow Rattle and Red Bartsia help suppress vigorous grass growth, giving wildflowers more space to thrive.
A mix for varied conditions: The mix offers species to suit a range of conditions, from sunny and dry areas to damp ground and dappled shade.
A long season of colour and wildlife value: From March to September, the mix provides a succession of flowers to feed pollinators, while keeping your display colourful and interesting for months.
The result is a beautiful, evolving wildflower display that gets better with time.
