Transform shaded woodland areas into havens for biodiversity with the Heritage Woodland Shaded Areas 100% Wildflower Seed Mix from John Chambers Wildflower Seed. Designed specifically for low-light and moist environments, this carefully balanced seed mix contains 100% UK native wildflowers, making it ideal for naturalising under trees, within woodland glades, or along shaded field edges and boundary lines.
This mix is part of the trusted Heritage Range, tailored for challenging environments where sunlight is limited, yet ecological value is essential. Featuring shade-tolerant species such as Agrimony, Wood Sage, Wood Avens, and Ramsons, this blend brings both visual and environmental benefits to woodland settings and is perfect for long-term low-maintenance meadows and naturalised zones.
Aimed at landowners, councils, conservationists, landscapers, gardeners and estate managers, the Heritage Woodland Shaded Areas mix supports native flora restoration, pollinator activity, and habitat connectivity in places often overlooked for rewilding or naturalisation.
All wildflower seed mixes are subject to change depending on seasonal harvest and availability. Additional UK native species may be included in the mix to enhance biodiversity and habitat resilience.
