Discover wildflowers
Perennial and biennial wildflowers selected to help wildlife, grown from seed and trialed in my Exeter garden.
Wildflowers will be available to buy at community markets and events in Exeter from spring 2025.
Wildflowers from my micro nursery in Exeter are carefully grown in small batches, from seed and cuttings. They are suitable for gardens and small to medium spaces.
Available while stocks last between April and October, depending on the variety. Get in touch if I’ve sold out of the variety you would like and I will grow more to order for autumn/spring planting.
£3 individual plants in 9cm pots
£6 mix of 5 wildflower seedlings
All plants are grown and supplied in peat-free compost grown without the use of chemicals. Packaging is recyclable or biodegradable.
How wildflowers can work in gardens
Did you know that birdsfoot trefoil is drought tolerant and suitable for a container, while also being the caterpillar food plant of the common blue butterfly and six-spot burnet moth?
Or that a pack of five ‘plug’ (seedling) plants including musk mallow and ox-eye daisy are an achievable way to make a mini meadow effect?
How about shade-tolerant wildflowers like red campion being just as happy at the back of a border as they are in a hedgerow?
Or that you can enjoy the cowslips and primroses you read about or saw as a child in your own garden? (Keep an eye out for the fairies!)
Many perennial wildflowers are happy in conventional flower borders where they don’t have to compete with grasses. They can mix in with other plants or form butterfly-friendly nectar blocks. Try them in containers, planters, wild patches, mix them in with non-native plants or plant one variety in a block to create a butterfly-friendly nectar station.
