Wet Meadow/Damp Grassland Area 40 Plug Plant Mix

Our Wet Meadow/Damp Grassland Area 40 Plug Plant Mix supplies typical wildflower species found in wet meadows and damp grassland habitats. See below for habitat information. You will receive planting and maintenance/management advice with your order.

All our plants are true UK native British wildflowers grown from UK sourced native wild seed. We grow our plants in Peat-free growing media in our sustainable nursery.

By buying our plants/seeds you are supporting British based growers and suppliers who often work with local farmers-businesses. All our plants are grown from British Seed and raised in Britain. Please be aware some suppliers on the internet bring in plants/seed which are non-native imports and may not be true UK native plants/seeds. Whilst these may be cheaper, they may not be true UK native plants and may not be suited to our environment.

This product has a minimum quantity of 1 item or 40 plug plants.

Your order will consist of 5 plants from 8 of the species listed below - a total of 40 plug plants:

The variety of species included in the plug plant mix depends on the time of year and stock availability.

Plants: Our Wet Meadow/Damp Grassland plug plants are provided ready to plant in a wet meadow or a damp grassland habitat. These plants are grown in growing media suitable for the conditions they will be planted in. All our plants are UK native plants and are grown from wild seed.

Habitat: These plants require areas where the ground conditions are generally moist for most of the year (although some drying in the summer is OK for short periods). They require areas that are open and not shaded areas and ideally in a grassland habitat. If planting in a wet grassland, ensure the grass is not too dominant as they can smother the plants until established. If your area floods in the winter but then is just wet in late spring these plants will be fine. These species will cope with neutral and lime rich soils and slight acidic soils. Too acidic or lime rich soils may not suit some of these plants. Do not plant where these plants could be grazed or mown between March and July.

Management: We recommend allowing these plants to flower until July or August and then ensure you cut and clear the dead plant materials. Cut to within 30mm of the sward surface. Undertaking a light rake after the cut and clear is often beneficial. If you can do another cut in October this would be beneficial. Always be aware you will have to manage weeds in the first 2-3 years after planting.

PLEASE NOTE - We offer free planting & management advice with every order.

Kindly be aware that as autumn approaches, our wildflower plants might be delivered in a state where they appear to have passed their peak. We strive to inform you about this at the time of your order. It is common for native plants to exhibit leaf blotches or have dead/brown leaves during specific times of the year; this is entirely natural. We assure you that we meticulously inspect the root condition, ensuring their robust health. Once planted, the plug plant will respond accordingly.

Please understand that owing to the perishable nature of our plug plants, the usual right to cancel does not apply.
