Shaded Flora

1. Sow from March - September

2. Clear any weeds, grass or plants from the area

3. Break up the soil

4. If sowing into an area where there weren’t any weeds or plants (planters or pots) head straight to the SOW section

5. If you had to remove plants, leave the area for a couple of weeks and then repeat step one

6. Once you have done this, rake over the area and then walk over or roll to flatten the soil

1a. Use about 2.5g/m² of your 100% YourGreen wildflower seed mix 1b. Use about 5g/m² of your YourGreen grass & wildflower seed mix

2. Spread seed by hand. For large projects use a contractor/spreader

3. Sow half of pack from left to right and half from top to bottom of area

4. You don’t want the seed too deep so rake or cover over the seed but don’t bury it (depth 0.5cm)

5. Walk over, press or roll the area to get seed to soil contact

6. Water well for the first few weeks, keeping the area moist

7. After sowing reduce traffic (if applicable) as we don’t want to damage the young plants

8. Remove any weeds which appear - best to do this by hand.

1. Water regularly, especially if it’s dry weather. Soil should be moist.

2. Cut once in spring (optional) and then again in the autumn. Remove all the cuttings please!

3. If growing a 100% annual mix (our Native Flora or Space Saver mix) only cut once in the autumn and resow the mix each year

4. Removing weeds is always going to help keep your bed in shape! Hoe the area and pull weeds out by hand
