October
Fresh
Yellow Rattle Seed available -
Fresh Yellow Rattle seed will be sent out
from the end of July/beginning of August. Fresh seed has a higher
success rate than seed which has been dried for longer. Yellow
Rattle is a useful plant to introduce when creating a wild
flower meadow. It is semi-parasitic on the roots of plants,
especially grasses, & once established will reduce the vigour of the
original grass by up to 50%.
There are many less wild flowers
in evidence during October and as the month progresses more continue to
disappear depending on the temperature. A splash of colour is
provided by berries and attractive seed heads (Teasels and Wild Clematis
in particular), but there are also some
wild flowers which will still be in flower in October, which we currently stock seeds for.
