Our Wildflower Meadow-in-a-Tray contains a carefully selected blend of beautiful, pollinator-friendly native wildflowers. Each species has been chosen for colour, biodiversity value, and reliable performance in a meadow setting. Together they create a naturally balanced, long-flowering display that supports bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
A low-growing, golden-flowered perennial adored by bees and a vital food plant for several butterfly species.
A robust meadow classic with deep purple flower heads that attract a huge range of pollinators, especially bumblebees.
A nitrogen-fixing species with small yellow flowers that enriches the soil and provides excellent nectar.
A spring-flowering favourite producing clusters of fragrant yellow blooms. Great early-season nectar source.
A fine-leaved perennial with frothy clusters of tiny yellow flowers that offer soft texture and summer colour.
A cheerful, tall daisy species that brings bright whites and yellows to the meadow and is loved by butterflies.
Vivid pink blooms that thrive in partial shade as well as sun, flowering for many months.
A hardy purple-flowered perennial that spreads gently and provides valuable nectar all summer long.
Suitable for planting in a lawn, garden borders or to create a wildflower meadow
Apply in Spring (March–May) or Autumn (September–October). These seasons offer warmth and moisture, helping the plugs root quickly. Avoid planting during drought, frost, or heatwaves.
Plug plants can be arranged to suit your desired look. For a dense wildflower garden, we recommend leaving no more of a gap than 5cm between plant - however wildflowers will naturally spread and over years reseed into a denser meadow.
How to plant a plug plant
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.
