Wildflower Turf Product Guide

Bulb Information

Bulb Top Tips:

Time Bulbs should be planted between September and December, ideally when the ground temperature is between 4°C and 8°C. Flowering can start as early as January and finish as late as June depending on the mix.

Maintenance No further maintenance is required for the bulbs when planted under the wildflower area, other than the general cut and remove required for the turf in the autumn months. A second cut at the end of May is sometimes advised if growth has been extreme due to weather conditions, but this should not be carried out with our Bee’s and Butterflies bulb mix. Depth of application If planting whilst laying the turf then the bulbs should be scattered from waist height and then covered with the turf. No additional soil or dibbing in is required. If planting into an established wildflower area, then use a hand held bulb planter to a depth of 6-8cms and plant where they have fallen after scattering from waist height.

Planning ahead and preparing ground

The area should be prepared to a fine tilth as you would with all of our turf options. Care should be taken that too much heavy weight isn’t placed on the turf when the bulbs are underneath due to the small and delicate nature of the bulbs. Planting the bulbs in clumps rather than being evenly dispersed by scattering can provide a more natural woodland look.
