Cottage Garden Wildflower Seed Collection

Designed to recreate the relaxed, colourful style of traditional English cottage gardens, these three native wildflowers combine beautifully with other ornamental flowers. Their blooms attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators whilst enhancing the visual appeal to borders and pathways. 

Key features:

• Adds colour, texture and seasonal interest to informal planting schemes
• Supports bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects
• Ideal for borders, pathways, wildlife gardens and naturalistic planting

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia)
- Produces tall, fragrant spikes of pink flowers throughout summer which are highly attractive to pollinators.

Corncockle (Agrostemma githago)
- Delicate, slender stems with star-shaped magenta flowers that bloom through summer. Corncockle adds charming cottage-garden colour and provides nectar for pollinating insects.

Wild Carrot (Daucus carota)
- Airy, lace-like white blooms that flower from mid to late summer, attracting a variety of pollinators and adds a soft, architectural texture to borders and naturalistic planting.

Sow directly into prepared soil in early autumn or from March to May. Choose an open, sunny location with well-drained soil. Remove existing grass and weeds to reduce competition and lightly rake the surface before sowing.

Scatter seeds evenly and press down gently, do not bury them deeply. Keep the soil moist during germination, which typically takes 1–3 weeks. Once established, this mix is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant.

Deadhead flowers regularly to prolong blooming or allow them to go to seed for natural regeneration next year. These annuals complete their life cycle within a year but can re-establish themselves with light soil disturbance.

Wildflower seeds and wildflower seed mixtures are typically dispatched within 1 to 2 working days.
