PREMIER SEEDS DIRECT - Yellow Rattle - 2 Grams, Approx 600 Seeds

• YELLOW RATTLE SEEDS - An essential pre-cursor to the establishment of any wild flower meadow. The plant reaches 25-50 cm tall, with opposite, simple leaves, with serrated margins and attractive yellow flowers. The varieties name comes from the seed pods which rattle when ripe. Harvested locally to us from the Wiltshire Downs.
• INCREASES BIODIVERSITY - The plant is hemi-parasitic gaining its nutrients from its own roots, but notably from adjacent grasses and thus weakening them, increasing biodiversity by restricting grass growth and thereby allowing other species to thrive.
• QUALITY SEEDS - Professional DEFRA (APHA) licensed Quality Seed Supply. At Premier Seeds Direct we check germination rates/quality at least every six months to ensure we deliver the best.
• ANNUAL FLOWER SEED - This is an annual therefore best sown in late autumn or early spring before the last frost.
• MINIMAL PACKAGING - Foil / ziplock sealed packs with QR code for further information or see details provided below for cultivation advice.
