Bring effortless beauty and vibrant colour to your landscape with the Conservation Easy and Colourful 100% Mix Wildflower Seed. Specially developed for those who want quick results and long-lasting displays, this 100% UK native wildflower seed mix contains species selected for their ease of establishment, visual appeal, and ecological value. Ideal for garden meadows, community spaces, roadside verges, and educational environments, this mix delivers a stunning succession of flowers from late spring through to early autumn.
Including species like Lady’s Bedstraw, Salad Burnet, Musk Mallow, Field Scabious, Kidney Vetch, and the semi-parasitic Yellow Rattle, the mix is rich in colour and texture while also supporting pollinators and insects. Yellow Rattle plays a key role in reducing grass dominance, allowing other wildflowers to thrive. This makes the mix an excellent choice for establishing or enhancing wildflower meadows, especially on low-fertility soils where competition from vigorous grasses needs to be controlled.
This low-maintenance wildflower blend is perfect for those looking to encourage wildlife while introducing a cheerful, informal planting scheme. It’s suited for a wide range of soil types and is particularly popular in pollinator-friendly planting and environmental education projects.
Please note: All wildflower seed mixes are subject to seasonal change, depending on the time of year and harvest conditions. Additional UK native species may be included to maintain seed availability and ecological integrity.
