Wildflower - Yellow Rattle - 1200 Seeds

Appearing 4 weeks after sowing.

as described and good value

Plenty of seeds. Hoping for a good crop to turn a pretty hopeless lawn into a flower meadow food source for bugs and butterflies. Must always grub up the dead grass to provide bare patches where the seeds can reach and dig into the bare earth.

I was intrigued of the idea of a native plant that parasitically grows on the grass. I have a small patch of grass that i leave to grow naturally, so i was keen to try the Yellow Rattler. ( its name comes from the fact that the seed pods rattled and that would tell the farmer that it was time to cut the hay. I planted the seeds in late august, i would have waited but that wasn't practical. i firmly trampled the seeds in and waited for the cold weather. its now nearly a year on I've two good clumps of plants which certainly have had a visible effect on the grass. The plants are definitely Yellow rattler and Im hoping that that they self seed for next year. I might have expected more plants but no hesitation in recommending this to any one who wants to try some thing a little different

I planted them okay but only a couple grew

I planted these seed in two batches, carefully following the planting instruction - correct time of year etc. I also planted a third of the seeds early in the season by freezing them first for 10/12 days. Both approacehs failed to yeild a single yello-rattel plant. I can only conclude that the seeds we not what they said it was or that they were of poor quality stock. Not a single yellow-rattle plant germinated. Plenty of grass shoots. I will not be buying from this seller again.
