Purple Loosestrife Seeds - 1000 UK Wildflower Seeds for Gardens and Meadows

Key Features

• TALL PERENNIAL WILD FLOWER: Easy to grow and stunningly beautiful when in bloom. A perennial native herb and wild flower plant that produces tapering spikes of purple-red flowers from June to August and dark green willow-like leaves. Can grow to around 100-150cm tall in ideal conditions.
• ATTRACT BIRDS AND BEES TO YOUR GARDEN: Sowing Native Wild Flowers is a great way to attract beneficial insects and pollinators to your garden, allotment or field while also provide a food source for birds and other wildlife. This flower is typically found in bogey or wet locations such as along river banks and ponds, in ditches and wet marshes as it prefers damp conditions to thrive.
• HOW TO PLANT: Can be sown at any time of year, but best in early autumn or in spring. Sow in trays or pots of moist compost and transplant to an open site that does not get too dry in summer or scatter the seed directly onto the fine raked seed bed and firm down well. Water well and keep the young plants weeded. Do not cover the seed instead just firm in by rolling or treading to give good soil/seed contact. Sow March to April or in September for best results.
• TOP GROWING TIPS: Purple Loosestrife can grow in most soil types, although for best results grow in well drained areas in full sun. Seeds may need some protection from wild birds until they germinate. Keep them well watered initially and remove any weeds if they appear.
• GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS: Planting wild flowers is a wonderful way to spend time in your garden, cultivate mindfulness and appreciate the little things just like in years gone by. Working with the earth and growing things is immensely satisfying – teach your children or grandchildren this priceless skill of harvesting food in their own gardens, allotments, greenhouses, inside the home in pots or even in community gardens!
