Frequently Asked Questions

Can wildflowers grow in clay soil?

Yes – native clay-adapted species such as scabious, meadowsweet, yarrow, and oxeye daisy are selected for heavy soils.

When should I sow them?

Autumn is ideal for stratification; spring sowing works too if soil has drainage and contact prep.

Do I need to prepare the soil differently?

Remove existing turf, lightly cultivate when dry, and rake to fine tilth – avoid working clay when wet.

Will they improve soil over time?

Yes – their deep roots naturally break up clay and enhance drainage season by season.

How long until I see flowers?

Annuals bloom in the first year; perennials may take 1–2 seasons to establish and flower.

Is this safe for pets and wildlife?

Yes – these native mixes are wildlife-friendly, support pollinators and aren’t toxic when used as intended.
