Often called the ‘meadow maker’ or ‘nature’s lawnmower’, Yellow Rattle is an annual hemiparasite wildflower that helps weaken vigorous grasses by attaching to their root systems. This reduces grass competition and gives other wildflower species a better chance to flourish. Perfect for pollinators, creating habitats and food for a wide range of bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

Yellow Rattle should be sown in autumn only, as it requires winter cold to support germination.

Recommended sowing rate: 0.5g–1.5g per sq. m
