Fresh from harvest 2024 - Delivery August after harvest
Yellow Rattle is suitable for Autumn sowing only, as it needs cold weather to germinate.
Also known as 'the meadow maker' or 'nature's lawnmower'.
Yellow Rattle is an Annual hemiparasite wildflower, meaning that it attaches itself to the root system of numerous different grass species, slowing down their growth rate, giving a better opportunity for other wildflower species to thrive.
