Celebration Wildflowers

100% Pure Non-Native Wildflower Seeds

Celebration Wildflower Tins are a stunning mix of bright, bold annual flowers, designed to create a vibrant summer-long display packed with colour and life. Carefully selected for their impact and reliability, this mix delivers processional flowering—meaning different flowers come into bloom at different times—so your garden stays lively and colourful throughout the season. Quick and easy to establish, Celebration wildflowers typically begin flowering around eight weeks after sowing and continue right up until the first frosts. As well as creating a dazzling visual display, the flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators, making them as beneficial as they are beautiful. Perfect for borders, beds, containers, patches of lawn, or dedicated wildflower areas, these tins are ideal for gardeners looking for maximum impact with minimal effort.

Available in 50g tins (other 1kg wildflower options available from DLF Seeds)

Our Celebration flower mixture contains a carefully selected blend of native & non-native wildflowers. Celebration is all about colour, variety and ease of use. Each tin contains a balanced blend of annual species chosen to complement one another in height, form and flowering time.

How to sow

How to sow a wildflower meadow

For the best visual impact we recommend ensuring you start from a fresh clean soil base and sow at the recommended rate. This allows wildflowers to establish successfully without being outcompeted by grasses and unwanted weeds. 

 

Common mistakes

  • Planting plugs during very dry or hot weather.
  • Mowing too soon after planting.

  • Adding fertiliser or rich compost to lawns (discourages wildflowers).

  • Planting too shallow or too deep.

  • Overcrowding – allow space for natural spreading.
