The Wet & Moist Soil Wildflower Plug Plants Mix is a carefully selected blend of UK native wildflower plug plants, specifically chosen to thrive in moist, poorly-drained, or flood-prone soils. Ideal for wetlands, riverbanks, damp meadows, SuDS basins, and other high-moisture areas, this mix provides reliable establishment where traditional seed mixes often fail.
Supplied as pre-grown plug plants in 40cc cells, each plant develops strong roots quickly, ensuring rapid establishment and immediate visual impact. The mix produces sequential blooms from spring to late summer, creating a colourful, wildlife-rich habitat that attracts bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and amphibians.
Perfect for councils, landscape contractors, ecologists, estate managers, and conservation projects, this mix is designed for long-lasting ecological benefits and low-maintenance management. Plug plants can be installed individually for targeted planting or grouped to create naturalised wet meadows, riverbank margins, rain gardens, and wildlife corridors.
A minimum of 10 UK native species is included, selected for wet and moisture-retentive soils. Species composition may vary slightly depending on seasonal availability to ensure healthy, vigorous plants at the optimum planting stage.
