Woodland & Shaded Area Wildflower Plug Plants Mix

Transform shaded spaces beneath trees, along woodland edges, or under hedgerows with the Woodland & Shaded Area Wildflower Plug Plants Mix. Carefully curated for low-light and semi-shaded conditions, this mix of UK native wildflowers delivers vibrant seasonal colour while supporting pollinators, ground-dwelling insects, and nesting birds.

Each plug is grown in a 40cc cell, promoting strong root development and fast establishment. Ideal for woodland restoration, shaded parklands, estate grounds, and wildlife corridors, this mix is designed for long-term naturalisation and minimal maintenance, offering reliable results where standard wildflower seeds struggle.

Perfect for councils, landscapers, ecologists, landowners, and garden enthusiasts, these plug plants can be planted individually for detailed planting schemes or grouped to create naturalistic woodland borders and glades. A minimum of 10 native species is supplied, selected for their adaptability to shaded conditions, including English Bluebell, Wild Primrose, Wood Sage, Hedge Woundwort, Red Campion, Wild Foxglove, Wood Avens, and Self Heal. Species selection may vary slightly to ensure the healthiest plants at the optimum planting time.
