Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a wildflower?

A wildflower is a flowering plant that grows naturally without being planted on purpose. Wildflowers can grow in grassland, woodland, hedgerows, dunes, and even cracks in pavements, depending on the species.

How can I identify a wildflower safely?

You can identify a wildflower by looking at the flower colour, number of petals, leaf shape, and where it is growing. It is safest to avoid tasting plants and to wash hands after handling anything outdoors.

Why are wildflowers important for wildlife?

Wildflowers provide nectar and pollen for insects, seeds for birds, and shelter for small animals. Because many species depend on them, wildflowers help support biodiversity and healthier ecosystems.
