Note Seed Revolution: ‘This mix contains native wild flowers for all areas and all occasions, minimal management, minimal effort, but maximum reward.

‘Field Poppy: Papaver rhoeas, other names: common poppy, Flanders poppy, red poppy, headache.
‘Possibly the most recognised wild flower there is, the common poppy is more than just a spectacular habitat for pollinators. It’s a cultural symbol of freedom and remembrance. An iconic flower for any garden. Poppies grew on the battlefields of France and Belgium after the ground had been severely churned up from the chaos and explosions of trench warfare. If you want to create the ideal habitat for poppies to grow, think of Flanders fields. Churned up and arid. Growing poppies really is that easy.

‘Cornflower: Centaurea cyanus, other names: bachelor’s button, witch bells.
‘Used to discourage evil visitors but worn as a bachelor’s button by young men in love, the cornflower’s history can certainly seem contradictory. Profound, striking and elegant, a symbol of remembrance in France, the cornflower was also found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, the petals still colourful after 3,000 years. We can’t sell you a pyramid, what with planning regulations and a problematic workforce, but we all want to feel like an Egyptian emperor from time to time. This is the next best thing. Easy to grow, these bright blue flowers will make your garden one of the wonders of the world and leave your guests shouting sacre bleu.

‘Ox-Eye Daisy: Leucanthemum, other names: dog daisy, moon daisy, marguerite.
‘If you want big, bold, beautiful flowers, ox-eye daisies are for you. They’re the original love predictor plant, their luscious big petals being perfect for the ‘he loves me, he loves me not’ game. One thing’s for certain, we love them! Their thick stems mean they work fabulously in cut flower arrangements. And they’re tough as old boots so no maintenance required. Spread some love and let these powerful pearly white plants bring vigour to your wild space!’
