Wildflower Topsoil FAQs

Will wildflowers grow in topsoil?

Wildflowers grow best in low-nutrient soil, so avoid using compost or fertilisers, as these can promote grass growth that competes with the flowers. If your soil is nutrient-rich, consider removing the top 3 – 6 inches to create the ideal environment for wildflowers to grow and prevent grasses from overpowering them.

Can I just scatter wildflower seeds?

Yes, wildflower seeds can be scattered directly onto prepared soil, but for the best results, it’s important to ensure good soil-to-seed contact. Lightly raking the soil after scattering helps the seeds settle and increases germination rates.

Why do wildflowers prefer low-nutrient soil?

Wildflowers thrive in low-nutrient soil because they are able to establish themselves and spread out when there is less competition from other plants – when soil is rich in nutrients, the flowering plants find it difficult to compete with grasses.

How deep should I spread the wildflower topsoil?

When preparing a wildflower garden, you should spread wildflower topsoil to a depth of around 5 – 10 cm (2 – 4 in)

When is the best time to plant wildflowers?

In the UK, the best time to sow wildflowers is typically in early spring (March or April) or early autumn (September). However, you should check the seed packet for details as the best time to plant may vary depending on the type of seed.

Smooth execution of the transaction and delivery. Very helpful phone call and conversation. Ordered three bags of Border Blend topsoil. Paid by Paypal. They delivered, on the specified date, carefully, exactly where I wanted the bags placed. All in all, a very pleasing purchase. The topsoil was excellent and had been very carefully prepared. No lumps. Would definitely recommend and I will use again. Everyone I spoke to was nice and helpful.

Ordered topsoil on Tuesday came by Friday at the exact time quoted. Was WAY cheaper than anywhere else (by about £15 per bag) and was dropped off via a crane on back of the lorry, not by pallet which most of the other places use. Soil was fine and dry. Brilliant !
