Acid Soil Wildflower Plug Plants Mix

The Acid Soil Wildflower Plug Plants Mix is a professionally selected blend of UK native wildflower plug plants, specifically chosen to thrive in acidic, low pH soils including peaty, sandy and heathland conditions. Ideal for sites where standard wildflower seed mixes struggle, this mix is designed for reliable establishment across public land, estates, woodland margins, nature reserves and biodiversity-led planting schemes.

Supplied as pre-grown plug plants, each grown in a 40cc cell, this mix offers faster establishment, stronger root development and immediate visual impact compared to direct sowing. Acid soils are often nutrient-poor and free-draining; the species included are naturally adapted to these conditions, delivering resilient growth with minimal ongoing maintenance once established.

The mix provides a succession of seasonal colour from spring through to late summer, creating attractive naturalistic displays while supporting pollinators such as bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. Plug plants can be planted individually for targeted restoration or grouped together to create acid grasslands, woodland edge planting, wildlife corridors and heathland-style meadows.

This mix is particularly well suited to landscape contractors, councils, ecologists, estates and conservation organisations seeking dependable performance, long-term ecological value and alignment with habitat restoration and Biodiversity Net Gain objectives.

A minimum of 10 UK native species is supplied in equal proportions, selected from a wider acid-soil species list. Species selection may vary seasonally to ensure plants are delivered healthy and ready for planting at the optimum time.
