Product Questions

Hello, I've noted the best time to sow this seed is September (nature's sowing time of course!) But will I get reasonable results by sowing now in Spring?

8

Question by: Alison on 5 Mar 2018 10:41:00

We advise September as some wildflower seed need the coldness of winter to stratify in the soil so can 'wake up' for bloom in spring. However much of this process can occur in our winter storage so you may well see some if not all or some bloom this year and any left over the following year.

Is it too late to sow late October in the UK?

1

Question by: Jo Hill on 20 Oct 2018 16:50:00

Yes depending on your location and how warm things are. You can normally sow in October unless we get news of an early winter/colder autumn especially in southern areas of the UK.

What is best time to sow this?

0

Question by: Tina on 5 Feb 2017 20:00:00

Hi Tina,

I would suggest waiting until early April (you could sow before then if it gets warmer earlier in the year at your location as we need some heat to germinate the seed), I would also recommended getting the ground prepped (we have a few guides on this in the Help & Advice section).

I have ordered some shaded areas seeds and wondered is January an adequate time to sow ?

0

Question by: James on 24 Jan 2019 16:20:00

Hi James,
We always recommend that March (Spring) is the best time to sow any seed, wildflower or grass. The ground / soil temperature needs to be at least 8 - 10 degrees for the wildflowers to germinate. Hope this helps!

Hello Grass People

I have a small unused raised flower bed about 3m x 5m and I’m not interested in gardening so I was hoping something like could answer my prayers? If this is an answer would it need mowing at all and could I get away with sowing it now and how do you sow stuff?

Thanks

Nick

Question by: Nick on 11 Feb 2019 20:57:00

Hi Nick,
Wildflowers are a great idea for those who prefer wilder flora! They are fairly low maintenance and actually thrive in poor soil conditions so they don't need much preening. Once you purchase our wildflower seed, there will be an instructional leaflet inside that tells you how to sow the seed and also has some aftercare tips. In short, you remove the top 5-10cm of soil, clear any debris or existing plants, spread the seed at a rate of 5g per m2, rake the seed until it is covered, water, and wait for the wildflowers to appear! Your wildflowers will only need mowed at the end of the summer after they have bloomed. I would recommend one of our mixes with grass in it, as the grass creates a nursery for the wildflowers and prevents weeds from popping up. Happy Sowing!
