The Word is Growing—Discover Wildflower Seed Mixes, Annuals, and Yellow Rattle Seeds

That’s music to our ears. At Natural Shoots, everything we create is rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and the satisfying joy of watching something thrive — even in unexpected places. Whether you're sowing a pot on a balcony or creating your first wildflower meadow, our mission is to make nature more accessible for everyone.

• “The seeds are growing well. It’s a difficult north-facing flower bed where nothing has really succeeded before. I am really pleased. I hope business is going well for you. I wish you every success.”

• “I did what you advised and it worked, the seeds are growing well. I’d like to buy some more, please.”

This kind of feedback reminds us how much potential there is — not just in seeds, but in small ideas done well.

Why You’re Loving It (And We’re So Glad You Are)

We’ve been blown away by the thoughtful, generous feedback from you — our customers, supporters, and fellow nature-lovers. Here are just a few highlights:

• ”What an imaginative solution, a good selection of species too."

• "Top idea.”

• “Neat idea. Cute!”

• “That is a very cool idea.”

• “This should win an award.”

And many of you have noticed the care and detail we put into our packaging and presentation:

“The packaging looks so premium. I really like the way you’ve done the label design with the colours of the plants.”

Our wildflower seed mixes are designed to be both beautiful and botanically balanced, combining annual and perennial wildflower meadow seeds for a long-lasting, wildlife-friendly display. We include British favourites like yellow rattle seeds, a key species for transforming grassy spaces into blooming meadows.

Not Just a Product — A Thoughtful Gift

Whether it’s for a gardener, a nature-lover, or someone new to growing, our mixed wildflower seeds make unique and meaningful gifts:

• “Great present for friends who have just moved house.”

• “This will make a lovely present for my mother-in-law.”

• “I’d like to buy some for remembrance.”

There’s something timeless about giving seeds — especially perennial seeds that bloom year after year. Our seeds for perennial flowers are perfect for low-maintenance beauty, and we often hear from customers looking to create living tributes and colourful wildlife corridors in small or large spaces.

Yellow Rattle: The Secret to a Successful Wildflower Meadow

One of the standout stars of our British wildflower seeds collection is yellow rattle. Often called the “meadow maker,” it helps suppress grass growth, allowing other wildflowers to thrive — and you've told us you're loving it:

• “I did not know it requires frost or sustained low temperatures to germinate, thank you.”

• “We’ll be back to get some in the autumn, using yellow rattle is a really imaginative way to reduce mowing time, thank you.”

• “Can we place an advanced order? We know it is hard to get good quality yellow rattle seeds.”

Yes — yellow rattle seed is in high demand, and we pride ourselves on offering fresh, viable, UK-harvested stock. It's ideal to sow in late summer or autumn, giving the seeds time to experience winter's chill (a necessary step for germination). If you're planning a meadow makeover, adding the yellow rattle plant to your mix can make a real difference.

Clever, Circular, Conscious

“Such a unique circularity business.”

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Our eco-conscious approach to sourcing, packing, and delivering wildflower seeds UK-wide is part of a broader mission: to make it easy to grow nature back into our everyday spaces. If you’re creating meadow flowers in your garden, balcony, or community plot, we’ve got a wildflower seed mix to match.

A Few Lovely Surprises

We love helping people discover the versatility of British wildflower seeds. From challenging spaces to container gardens, we often hear that our products surprise and delight:

“I didn’t know you could grow them in pots. That’s really cool. I’ll take some.”

And just in case you're wondering:

• “Are they edible?”❌ Nope - just for bees, butterflies, moths and beauty.

• “Are they reptile-friendly? We have a tortoise.” ❌ Nope - We advise not. We'd hate them to have a stomachache or worse.

Even Conservationists Are On Board

We were especially honoured by this message:

“I have recently joined the Woodland Trust as a recruiter. Wildflower meadows are one of the themes we talk about. I’d like to use your product.”

That’s exactly the kind of impact we hope to make — helping people, organisations, and communities reconnect with native plants and pollinators using British wildflower seeds.

So, What’s Next?

We’re restocking quickly (thank you again!) and always planning the next collection of wildflower seeds, perennial mixes, and seasonal favourites. Whether you're adding colour to your borders or transforming a lawn with yellow rattle seeds, we're here to help.

Thanks for being part of the Natural Shoots journey. Your kind words, your enthusiasm, and your shared love of nature keep us inspired.

• “It’s a good product. I hope you do well.”

• “I like the idea very much.”

We’re growing — and it’s all thanks to you. 🌼
