Wild flower plant collections for clay, loam or sandy soils

Mature wildflower plants for clay, loam or sandy soils

10 x Wild flower plants fully grown in 9cm pots

My wild flower plant collections – 10 mature plants of flowering age are robust plants much bigger than plugs, in 9cm diameter pots, labelled with the name of each wild flower and ready for planting.
I have carefully chosen these selections of species for their combination of flowering times (listed below) to provide you with a colourful continuous show from April till October or longer. I have also chosen the species for their beauty and wildlife value, especially for butterflies and bees. These plants will come up year after year and are fully hardy.

I have three wild flower collections available for clay, loam or sandy soils

Please note very occasionally a species may become temporarily unavailable within a collection whereby I will replace it with one just as special and suitable.

Planting & care

These mature plants come in 9cm pots, so they have a good established root system and are fully hardy. They can be planted at any time of the year except when the ground is frozen. Plant them straight into your native soil in the ground, no need to add any compost. Water well after planting if the ground is dry.

Common questions people search for

What are mature wildflower plants?

Fully-grown plants for immediate impact, rather than waiting for seed or plugs to develop.

When should I plant them?

Any time the soil is workable, spring to autumn.

How quickly do they establish?

Much faster than plugs or seed – they’re already mature when they arrive.

You can also grow this habitat from my clay, loam and sandy soils seed mix or plant plug collection.
