February Wild Flowers

Wild Flower Calendar

February

Daisies

Primroses

Sweet Purple Violet

Winter Aconites and Snowdrops will be finishing their show this month or next at the latest. Daisies will continue to flower this month, and the Wild Daffodil and Primroses make their appearance.


Wild Daffodils, Winter Aconites and Snowdrops 'In the Green' will be available in late January along with many other wild flower bulbs. Dormant bulbs will be available later in the summer although there will be a facility on our web pages to pre-order them in July. Click here to look at our  Wild Flower Bulb Pages for more details.


Meadow Mixes for creating a Wild Flower Meadow can be sown later this month. They can be sown in the autumn (August to October) or Spring (February to May), but on heavy clay soils it is be best to sow in Spring as water-logging may cause some seed/seedlings to rot during the Winter.


Wild Flower Seeds which are best sown in Spring can be sown later this month.  Some wild flower seeds will germinate easily, but others can take longer. This is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to provide flowering nectar plants for the garden. Try one of our 
Seed Collections which contain a mix of seeds for specific locations, soil types or to attract wildlife eg Honey & Bumble Bee, Butterfly or Bird Mixes.


Continue to provide food and water for the birds, particularly during cold spells. It is a good time to put up nesting boxes which garden birds will use during the Spring.


If you have any larger perennial wild flower plants, they can be divided this month eg Greater Knapweed, Oxeye Daisies, Yarrow.


Although wild and species roses don't need to be hard -pruned, they may benefit from a tidy up this month eg Field Rose, Sweet Briar, Dog Rose, Burnet Rose.
