This mixture consists of 100% native British wildflowers with no grass filler. It is formulated to establish a permanent mini-meadow that is active from early spring through to the first frosts.

By combining annuals and perennials, the mix provides a staggered flowering cycle.

  • Year One: Annual species like Corn Poppy and Cornflower provide immediate cover and produce flowers. Providing food for pollators and giving the gardener an early reward for their efforts.

  • Year Two onwards: Perennial species really establish themselves and produce flowers alongside the annuals (growing from the seeds that shed in year one). Perennial wildflowers are the backbone of a long-lasting meadow that returns year after year, over time they will dominate the annual wildflowers. 

Ecological Value

The diversity of the wildflower mixture supports the whole ecosystem.

  • Pollinators: Provides a steady nectar source for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies over a long flowering period.

  • Wider Ecosystem: An undisturbed wildflower patch offers shelter and food for small mammals such as field mice. Maintaining these habitats supports the local bird of prey populations like Barn Owls.

  • Yellow Rattle: Included to suppress vigorous grasses, giving the wildflowers the space required to thrive.

Species List

Contains 21 native British wildflower species.

  • Cornflower, Corncockle, White Campion, Oxeye Daisy, Self-Heal, Red Campion, Ladys Bedstraw, Salad Burnet, Meadow Buttercup, Wild Carrot, Lesser Knapweed, Meadowsweet, Ribwort Plantain, Yarrow, Nettle-Leaved Bellflower, Field Forget-Me-Not, Musk Mallow, Yellow Rattle, Corn Poppy, Corn Marigold, Corn Chamomile

Preparation and Sowing

Sow onto a fine, weed-free seedbed in spring or autumn. Importantly, ensure the soil is warm and not waterlogged - wildflowers do not establish well in cold, wet soils. Broadcast the seed evenly, rake gently, and water regularly during the first six weeks.

The first season is the most important for the longevity of the meadow. While the annuals flower quickly, the perennials grow slowly beneath them.

  • Weed Control: You must keep the area free of invasive weeds during this first year. Removing docks, nettles, and thistles by hand prevents them from outcompeting the slower-growing perennial wildflowers.

  • Patience: If the perennials are allowed to establish without being smothered, the meadow will remain productive for years.

Coverage

Aim to sow 1.5 to 2.5 g per square metre. This is equates to 600 - 1100 seeds per square metre. Good, fine seedbeds with plenty of moisture and low weed pressure can manage with nearer to 600 while poorer seedbeds or high weed sites benefit from the higher seed rate. 

Top tip - mix your seed with sand or sawdust or another mixing agent. This bulks out the seed to make it easier to spread evenly without accidentally sowing too much seed in any one area. 

Annual Maintenance

Once the meadow is established, maintenance is limited. The dead plant material can be cut and removed if desired, otherwise leave it in place over winter as ground cover and remove in spring to encourage the new-season's growth. 

After a few years, the annual wildflowers are likely to have run out of steam and the perennial wildflowers will be the dominant vegetation. If you would like annuals to remain in the meadow, simply scratch any bare ground in autumn or spring,  sprinkle some cornfield annual seeds and gently rake in and firm down. This will top up the annual wildflower seeds for another year or so.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
