Wildflowers are becoming increasingly endangered due to man's continued encroachment on plant habitats.  This, in turn, affects the wildlife population as species of bee, butterfly, bird and moth find their food sources gradually being eroded away.  You can help redress the balance a little by planting  native plants in your garden, either amongst your other plants in your borders or in a specially designated wildflower area - this doesn't have to be a vast meadow!  Refer to our Plants to Attract Wildlife section on which plants will attract what creatures. One other thing to note - don't be put off by the name of the plant!  Many wildflowers  have the words "wort" or "weed" in them - this doesn't mean they are dreadful-looking plants!  All the plants we grow are "good-looking", regardless of name.  For example, Fox and Cubs is also known as Orange Hawkweed, yet it has truly beautiful, vivid orange flowers.  So bear this in mind when choosing your plants - otherwise you'll be missing out on some lovely ones!

All plants come with an information sheet about the plant, its history and any associated folklore.

Please be aware that it is illegal to dig up wild plants, or to pick and dig up those that are protected (see our section on the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981).
