Wild Flower Seed
Wild Flower Mixtures with Native Seed Provenance
Environmental pressures mean that wild flower planting now forms
an important part of many landscape projects. The issue of native
seed provenance is already vital in many parts of the UK and its
importance is almost certain to grow.
Green-tech is probably the largest independent supplier of
wild flower seeds in the UK. Our standard mixture is 20% wild
flowers to 80% low maintenance native grasses, but special mixes
Wild Flower Management
Site Preparation
The site should be weed free. Annual weeds should be controlled
by mechanical means or by the use of contact based herbicide such
as paraquat. Perennial weeds, for example docks thistle, nettles
and couch grass can be dealt with using a translocated herbicide
Sowing Times
Management Cutting Regime
DO NOT USE FERTILISER, either prior to sowing or in future years
management. This will only encourage the grasses which will
subsequently outcompete the wild flowers.

any landscape.

Sowing can best be achieved by mixing the seed with dry sand or sifted topsoil and evenly broadcast. It is important that the seed is in
contact with moisture in the soil so the seedbed should be lightly raked and then rolled.

This regime allows the wild flowers to compete with grasses during
the establishment period. After this, cutting in October should
suffice, after which the cuttings should always be removed.
