LiveMoor Wild Flower Meadow Seeds - Help Save the UK Bee Population

LiveMoor Wild Flower Meadow Seeds - Help Save the UK Bee Population All seeds included are RHS "Plants for Pollinators". • This seed packet meets the criteria of the RHS Plants for Pollinators scheme with at least 75% of seeds being featured on the list. A selection of wild flower seeds selected to attract Bees and Butterflies and help maintain and encourage the UK Bee population to thrive. Seeds should be sown from late January until late October, once the risk of frost has passed. We add around 30% spreading compound (Black Volcanic Sand) to our mix to ensure the flowers do not grow too close together and to ensure an optimum distance for good germination and display when fully grown. Black Volcanic Sand also provides the perfect minerals for your plants to grow strong and ensures that they stay healthy for as long as possible. As there are hundreds/thousands of seeds in each pack, we are unable to guarantee the exact mix of seeds nor the ratio of seeds in each mix. What we can assure our customers is that we always aim to provide a good mix of wildflower seeds, with no grasses bulking out the mix. 1. Choose where you would like to grow your Wild Flowers 2. Rake the surface of the ground to about 1cm depth 3. Shake the pack well to mix the wild flower seeds with the spreading compound 4. Make sure that you don’t sprinkle the wild flower seeds too close together 5. Sprinkle the seeds evenly and then immediately water 6. Cover the seeds over to avoid them spoiling or being taken by birds and other wildlife 7. Continue to water, but only lightly - try not to over water and take into account weather conditions 8. Be patient , and after 4 to 8 weeks you will start to see the fruits of your labour 9. Remember the colder it is the slower the germination process will be 10. Please remember to be patient as the first year might only produce the leaves necessary for the flower to grow The seed rate for annuals is 2 grams to the sq metre. For wild flower perennials, it is 1.5 grams. As the seeds are a mixture of both, 2 grams per meter would be suitable.
