Shade Meadow Mix
Wildflowers for shaded and north-facing areas
Not every garden gets full sun, and most wildflower mixes fail in shade. This one is different. Every species in this blend tolerates partial shade — under trees, along north-facing walls, beneath hedgerows, and in woodland clearings.
The mix includes primrose, foxglove, red campion, herb robert, wood avens, and other woodland-edge species that naturally thrive in dappled light. Expect slower establishment than sun-loving mixes, but a beautiful, naturalistic display that fills spaces most flowers can't.
Ideal for the shaded base of hedgerows — pair with our hedgerow margin sowing guide for best results.
Species Included
Primrose, Foxglove, Red Campion, Herb Robert, Wood Avens, Bluebell, Wild Garlic, Hedge Woundwort, Greater Stitchwort, Ground Ivy, Bugle, Sweet Woodruff
Sowing Instructions
Prepare soil by raking lightly — heavy cultivation is unnecessary in shade. Mix seed with sand (3:1) and scatter evenly. Press gently. Expect slower germination than sunny mixes. Autumn sowing (September–October) is preferred. Sow at 4–6g per sq m.
