Shady characters: Dappled shade under the trees can be a difficult spot to get some colour, so here’s a selection of flowers that thrive in woodland conditions. 

Sow in spring or autumn into a fine, well prepared seed bed and lightly rake, then firm soil. Ensure seedlings are well watered and keep free of unwanted weeds. Cut back all growth at the end of flowering (late Aug-Sept), removing all cuttings. If growing with grasses cut them back every few weeks in first year to allow wildflowers to establish, otherwise grasses will dominate. This unique Plantlife wildflower mix will help you (and your bees and butterflies) enjoy native flowers in your garden.

Some items will be sent directly from John Chambers so will arrive separately to any individual packets purchased. All orders may take up to 14 working days to arrive.
