Ecological Impact:
With over a quarter of bird species facing extinction and 70 UK bird species on the IUCN Red List, urgent action is needed to prevent further decline. Habitat loss and limited food supply are significant factors. Supporting UK bird populations is crucial, as even once-common species like the Swift and Greenfinch are becoming rare.
About the Substrate
This revolutionary wildflower substrate isn’t your average soil. It’s been scientifically engineered and rigorously tested to be the perfect incubator for the wildflower seeds. Compared to traditional methods, this translates to a dramatically improved germination process, giving your wildflowers a head start and a fighting chance to thrive.
Our unique, 100% natural and peat-free formula slashes the full establishment time from years for traditional seeding, to just 3-18 months, depending on sowing season.
The secret lies in Hydropor™, our proprietary ingredient. It acts like a tiny sponge, ensuring seeds efficiently absorb water – the key to kickstarting germination. But it doesn’t stop there. This substrate is designed to maintain the perfect balance of pH and temperature, further optimizing seed growth.
And once your seeds sprout? The nutrient-rich formula in our substrate fuels strong root development and supports vibrant shoot growth, giving the wildflower the best start possible.
