Wildflower Seed for a Species Rich Lawn or Landscape

With demand for improved biodiversity on all major landscape projects, increasing the species count in what can be the largest soft landscaped surface of the scheme can sometimes be overlooked.

Pro Flora 13 is suited to a varied management regime in terms of cutting height and frequency. This flexibility allows mowing every couple of weeks at 75-100mm in a more intensively managed area, right through to a conventionally managed, species rich, grassland receiving just one or two cuts a year. The greater amount of time between cuts, the greater the number of species will flower providing additional benefits to pollinating insects.

When to use:

In general, the best time for sowing perennial wildflower seeds is late summer/autumn (late August-October) when there is likely to be consistent moisture and warmth without extremes of cold or dry. Spring (late March-May) is usually considered the next best time to sow perennial wildflower seed, particularly if the ground is likely to be waterlogged over the winter.

Application Window
Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec

How to use:

Prepare the ground
New Seed Bed	Overseeding
Remove unwanted vegetation Cultivate the soil to a depth of 150 mm removing the stones and debris Level, then firm the seedbed Rake the surface to product a fine tilth	Cut the grass short as possible and remove the clippings Remove excess thatch to allow the seed to reach the soil surface If compacted, aerate the soil
Provide water
If there has been little rainfall irrigate gently and slowly to fully wet through the soil profile
Sow seed
Sow seeds evenly using the correct sowing rate for the seed mix Because sowing rates for wildflower seed are low, it is usually helpful to mix the seed with a carrier material such as slightly damp sand Press the seeds into the soil using a roller or the back of a rake to ensure good seed to soil contact
Provide water
Keep the soil surface moist but not wet until the seeds have germinated AND established Irrigate slowly and gently to avoid disturbing the seeds

Management & aftercare

Suggested mowing regime
Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
Leave uncut unless growth is vigorous		Cut and collect clippings	Allow to flower and seed				Cut and collect clippings		Leave uncut unless growth is vigorous, but can be cut as frequently as once every fortnight if required

Many grasslands and meadows are traditionally managed by grazing but mowing and removing the clippings can be used to replicate the process of hay cutting and grazing. It is important to remove clippings to avoid nutrients being returned to the soil. Soils for wildflowers are usually low in nutrients to encourage species diversity.
