Types of Wildflower Meadow

As you know, we plant wildflower meadow for every product sold.

But do you also know which types of flowering strips there are?

Annual flowering strips: Annual flowering strips mainly benefit birds, insects and small mammals. They provide food for birds, and open-pollinated varieties grow there.

Perennial flowering strips: Perennial flowering strips are sometimes left standing for 2 years. That gives certain insects a chance to overwinter.

Wild seeding: With wild seeding no seeds are sown. This gives wild arable herbs a chance to germinate and form leaves. Yet other insects find a home in this brighter spot.

Plough furrow: For a plough furrow the soil is ploughed and a 20–30cm "dip" is left behind. This creates what's called a break edge for insects. Insects that live in the soil can find a place here.

Different types of flowering strips let the insects wander back and forth between the two areas.

This interplay of seeds and animals boosts biodiversity.
