Where to use Celebration
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.
