When preparing the garden for wildflower seed the aim is to produce a firm weed-free tilth. Subsoils often provide a weed-free, low nutrient status seed bed, and are therefore suitable for wild flora. It is occasionally necessary to remove the topsoil in areas of high fertility, as these soils tend to promote the growth of more vigorous grasses and pernicious weeds. Treat existing vegetation with a systemic herbicide prior to seed bed cultivation, taking note of any site constraints and manufacturer’s instructions first.
1. Treat with herbicide, cultivate the site and allow to remain fallow if practical. A repeat herbicide application may be necessary
2. Remove topsoil if applicable
3. Cultivate to 10cm
4. Create a surface tilth
Sowing can take place throughout most of the year, providing a good tilth can be prepared, however the months of March/April and August/September are generally the most suitable for Pro Flora. Colour Boost is generally most suited to a Spring sowing.
1. Regularly mix seed during the sowing process to ensure even species distribution, drill or broadcast
2. Sow at 5g/m2 for mixtures with grass or 0.5-1.0g/m2 for pure wild flower mixtures
3. Bulk up small seeding rates with Rehofix MK1500 Bulking Granules 1 part seed to 5 parts bulking granules
4. Rake or harrow – mix seed into soil (depth approx 0.5cm) Cambridge roll to firm seed bed
In the first year control the weeds and reduce competition from grasses. Cut the sward to a height of 5-7cm every two months or when the sward reaches 15cm. Remove all the cuttings.
Dig out or spot treat any perennial weeds.
Cut to 5-7cm during March/April and remove cuttings.
A second cut should take place at the end of the flowering season during August/October. Remove all cuttings.
Further cuts in the autumn period to remove untidy growth may be required.
Cut once flowering period is over – September/October
Weed treat ground if necessary, cultivate and re-seed Spring or Autumn.
Cut once flowering period is over – September/October
Weed treat ground if necessary, cultivate and re-seed Spring.
Further cuts in the autumn period to remove untidy growth may be required.
Hand weed/spot treat as required.
Cut and remove dead top growth before the next Spring.

Immediately after installation, turf should be watered thoroughly, both in the morning and evening, for approximately one hour each time, for a period of 28 days unless there is significant rainfall. Read our blog on ‘Watering newly laid turf’ for more information.
It is recommended to lay the turf as soon as it is delivered, particularly during warmer months, to prevent drying out and ensure successful establishment.
