The Pro Woodland & Shaded Areas 100% Mix Wildflower Seed is specifically crafted for creating wildflower meadows in shaded, woodland environments. This 100% wildflower mix is designed to thrive in areas with lower light levels, such as beneath trees, along woodland edges, or in partially shaded spaces. The blend includes native wildflowers like Wood Sage, Wood Avens, and Red Campion, which are all perfectly suited to growing in the cooler, more shaded areas where sunlight is limited.
This professional-grade wildflower mix is ideal for creating low-maintenance, biodiverse habitats that enhance woodland areas, gardens, parks, or any other space with partial shade. The species included in this mix help support vital pollinators and add colour to shaded areas throughout the growing season.

How to Sow Wildflower Seed Mixes
Prepare the site by clearing existing vegetation and weeds, especially in shaded areas where sunlight is limited.
Mix seed with sand to help with even distribution across the ground.
Sow evenly at the recommended rate (3g per m²), using a broadcast method.
Firm the seedbed by lightly rolling or treading to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Water regularly, particularly during dry spells, to help establish the seeds in shaded conditions.
Avoid fertilising, as wildflowers prefer nutrient-poor soils and will thrive without excess nutrients.
