Tried to start a wildflower patch in the garden this year, completely digging it over back in March. Looked pretty terrible for a while, and I sowed in a complete mix from emorsgate and a cornflower mix to try provide a bit of cover. Main winners have been a surprise mix of things I haven’t planted, common mallow, petty spurge and ubiquitous creeping buttercup. Got some salad burnet, musk mallow and corn cockles coming through though too, and hoping more next year. Am I correct in thinking best way to manage it is cut from autumn, plant some yellow rattle and then keep short until next April?
