Contains 3 packets of English wildflower “Seeds of Hope”. The Seedy Information… Sow in spring and autumn as it provides ideal conditions with moisture and warmth in good supply. If overseeding into grass, it is best to sow during autumn when grass growth has slowed down. Regularly mix the seed when sowing, as seeds will naturally separate due to variations in size and weight. Once sown, ensure good ‘seed to soil’ contact by lightly raking to a depth of 0.5cm or rolling the area. Contents by ratio: Chamomile 15% Flowers Jun - Jul Corn Cockle 45% Flowers May - Aug Cornflower 20% Flowers Jun - Oct Marigold 15% Flowers Jun - Oct Poppy 5% Flowers May - Jul First Year Seeds of Hope contains annual species, which are fast to establish and flower. During the first year remove any weeds. Weed growth is common due to the action of disturbing the ground (rather than being caused by contaminated seed mixtures). After flowering the plants will naturally die back over the winter. Allow the plants to run to seed in autumn then cut the area down using a scythe, strimmer or mower, leaving the cuttings for up to a week before clearing the area. This will allow them to dry and shed seeds back into the soil. Second Year Depending on your sowing preference, cultivate the ground and reseed in September or March. Over several years of reseeding, a rich seed bank will develop and simply disturbing the soil again in early spring will be sufficient to regenerate the flowers each year. 100% of the wildflower species included are recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society as supporting many of the 1500 species of pollinating insects across the UK.
