It’s back! Enter the 2013 design a wildflower mix competition!
10th July 2013 Lawn UK

Following a successful competition last year, we’ve decided to hold another Design your own wildflower mixture competition.

We’ll pick our favourite wildflower seed mixture on 31st August, and send the winner 100g of their mix just in time for the autumn sowing season. Also why not include some Yellow Rattle? This too will help control grasses.

The rules are simple, the mixture can contain any of the species in the table below, and it’s free to enter. Follow the link below to begin the design.

 

Perennials

  • Ladys Bedstraw
  • Lesser Knapweed
  • Wild Carrot
  • Red Campion
  • Meadow Buttercup
  • White Campion
  • Birdsfoot Trefoil
  • Meadowsweet
  • Ox-eye Daisy
  • Cowslip
  • Field Scabious
  • Salad Burnet
  • Self Heal
  • Ribwort Plantain

Annuals

  • Corn Cockle
  • Corn Marigold
  • Cornflower
  • Field Poppy
  • Yellow Rattle

 

It’s good to try and include a mix of grasses and wildflowers. We recommend about an 80/20 split of grasses to wildflowers. Try and include grass species like sheeps fescue, crested dogstail, bentgrass, red fescue and smooth meadowgrass.

This competition is now closed. Thank you for your entries!
