Wildflowers For Soil Health

£12.00

The root systems of these wildflowers stimulate micro-organisms and help cycle nutrients through the soil. In addition, wild white clover is a soil enriching green manure providing year round ground cover, common vetch fixes nitrogen and ribwort plantain can help tackle soil compaction.

Treat these wildflowers like your favourite perennials and integrate them into your planting schemes to support nature and nurture your own wellbeing. Sow each species in swathes to fill gaps in garden borders, or propagate them in the green house or on your window sill and then plant them out exactly where you want them.

This collection includes three individual packets of seeds containing the following native wildflower species.

Wild White Clover – A robust and creeping perennial, wild white clover is well suited to wildflower lawns. Flowering from spring right through the summer, its creamy-white, sometimes pinkish blooms attract beneficial insects to garden borders and are a valuable source of nectar for many species of bee.

Ribwort Plantain – A short, rosette-forming herb which is evergreen and produces tightly clustered flowers with creamy-white anthers throughout the summer. Its seed heads remain for most of the winter providing food for goldfinches and other seed-eating birds.

Common Vetch – Producing numerous, small, purplish-pink flowers that resemble those of a low-growing ‘sweet pea’, common vetch is a sprawling, nitrogen-fixing wildflower which can support the growth of nitrogen-hungry vegetables, such as rhubarb and kale, in kitchen garden planting schemes.
