Our plug plants are extra large so the water retention is better and this improves their survival rates after planting. Regular watering until they are established will also be very beneficial. We recommend 5 plugs / sqm
Plugs are available from April to September only. If your order cannot be dispatched immediately we will contact you and let you know when they will be sent.
Wild flower meadow collection
These flowers are suitable for planting into grassland in a sunny situation. For best results please ensure that the grass species present are fine lawn or meadow grasses rather than tall, vigorous species such as rye grass or couch grass.
For planting into bare soil we recommend sowing a meadow seed mix (link to seed page) which includes meadow grasses and some flower species. Additional flower species can then be added using plug plants.
Plugs will contain a selection from the following list:
Ox eye daisy, Meadow buttercup, Common knapweed, St John’s wort, Field scabious, Birdsfoot trefoil, Cowslip, Yarrow, Meadow vetchling, Lady’s bedstraw, Red clover, Self heal, Wild marjoram, Agrimony, Primrose, Quaking grass .
