This specialist wildflower mix has been carefully curated to include native species known for their aromatic leaves and ecological value. Perfect for biodiversity-focused planting, the mix contains 100% UK native wildflower species, supporting pollinators and other wildlife. Each species—such as Wild Basil, Fennel, Feverfew, Marsh-Mallow, Ransoms, and Wood Sage—has been selected for its fragrant foliage and value in conservation and habitat creation.

This mix is ideal for use in woodlands, hedgerows, naturalised gardens, wildlife reserves, and shaded or semi-shaded verges. It suits soil types with reasonable moisture and will thrive in lightly shaded environments, making it perfect for understorey planting. Scented leaves not only enhance the sensory experience of your space but also contribute to greater species diversity and provide habitat and food for insects and small mammals.

How and When to Sow
When to Sow:

How to Sow:
Prepare a well-weeded, low-fertility seedbed. Lightly rake and roll or firm the surface. Broadcast the seed evenly by hand or spreader. Press seed into the surface—do not bury.
Aftercare:
Cut back after flowering or in early autumn to encourage reseeding and maintain diversity.

Technical Advice
This mix prefers moist, well-drained soils with some shade or dappled light.
Avoid fertilisers, which promote grasses over wildflowers.
To maintain long-term species balance, mow once or twice annually and remove cuttings.
