This specialist wildflower mix has been carefully curated to include native species known for their aromatic leaves and ecological value.

Each species—such as Wild Basil, Fennel, Feverfew, Marsh-Mallow, Ransoms, and Wood Sage—has been selected for its fragrant foliage and value in conservation and habitat creation.
This mix is ideal for use in woodlands, hedgerows, naturalised gardens, wildlife reserves, and shaded or semi-shaded verges. It suits soil types with reasonable moisture and will thrive in lightly shaded environments, making it perfect for understorey planting. Scented leaves not only enhance the sensory experience of your space but also contribute to greater species diversity and provide habitat and food for insects and small mammals.

Technical Advice
This mix prefers moist, well-drained soils with some shade or dappled light.
