Gift Box - Yellow Rattle

Each gift box contains 5 cases  of Yellow Rattle which is a perennial. This remarkable plant naturally weakens grasses by drawing nutrients from them, giving other wildflower seeds the space and nutrients to thrive. That means less money spent on weedkiller and less time spent on cutting grasses — all while encouraging a rich, biodiverse habitat. Yellow Rattle derives  its name from the colour of its flowers and sound of its seed pods.

The 5 cases  (3 grams per case) will provide 5 square metres of coverage and help sequester up to 1,500 grams of carbon.

Sowing Tip: Yellow Rattle is best planted in the Autumn but can also be planted in Spring using a grid pattern to maximise coverage in small quantities to get it to take. Yellow Rattle ideally needs frosty conditions or sustained cold weather to germinate. This triggers a process called vernalisation.
