How to sow a wildflower meadow
For the best visual impact and a higher ratio of flowers to grass, sow at the recommended rate. This allows wildflowers to establish successfully alongside grasses without being outcompeted.
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.
