Plant care

Pruning

Cut or mow three times a year - once in early spring, once in summer to give later flowering plants room to develop, and again in autumn. Shake seed out of autumn cuttings prior to disposal.

Propagation methods

Seed

Propagation

For best results, hand broadcast the seed. Mix seed with sand or sawdust to ensure even coverage and to show where seed has already been spread. Gently tap seed into the soil and water thoroughly.

Pests

Diseases

Prepare a weed-free, perennial meadow seed bed.

Sow perennial meadow seed in an open, sunny position in autumn.

Spring cut perennial meadows

Summer cut perennial meadows
