The Conservation Wild Bird 100% Mix Wildflower Seed is a carefully curated blend of UK native wildflowers selected specifically for their ability to support and attract wild birds. Each species in this mix provides valuable seeds, foliage, and habitat that feed and shelter birds while also contributing to a thriving ecosystem. With striking flowering displays and seed heads that remain into autumn and winter, this mix brings both ecological function and natural beauty to rural and urban settings.
The species in this wild bird mix—Teasel, Wild Carrot, Meadow Cranesbill, Meadowsweet, Corn Marigold, and Betony—are all known to produce seed-rich flower heads that many native birds, including goldfinches, linnets, and greenfinches, depend on for overwinter feeding. These plants also attract a wide variety of insects and pollinators, supporting the wider food web.
Ideal for sowing in meadows, field margins, buffer strips, conservation verges, and public green spaces, this 100% wildflower mix delivers real biodiversity gains and is a powerful tool in regenerative planting strategies. Designed for low-fertility soils and suitable for countryside stewardship schemes, wildlife gardening, and habitat restoration, it’s perfect for creating naturalised environments with long-term ecological value.
Please note: All wildflower seed mixes are subject to seasonal change, depending on the time of year and harvest conditions. Mixes may include additional UK native species not listed below to ensure quality and viability.

Sowing Rate
2–3g per m² for pure 100% wildflower application
Sowing Period
Spring (March to May)
Autumn (August to October) – best for natural cold stratification and spring germination
How to Sow
Prepare a clean, weed-free, low-fertility seedbed
Broadcast seed evenly across the surface
Rake lightly to ensure good contact with the soil, but avoid burying the seed
Firm down with a roller or by foot
Avoid use of fertilisers, which encourage grasses to outcompete wildflowers
Technical Advice
This mix prefers well-drained, low-fertility soils in full sun or partial shade
Maintenance includes an annual cut in late summer or autumn to prevent dominance of aggressive species and encourage reseeding
Leave seed heads standing into winter for bird feeding, then cut back to promote regeneration
Ideal for ecological enhancement, biodiversity net gain, and habitat continuity
