ABOUT YELLOW RATTLE

Yellow Rattle Eco Seed Balls are purposely made to be used alongside any of our Seed Balls.
Yellow rattle has yellow, tube like flowers protruding from an inflated green calyx.
The job of yellow rattle is one of high importance. 
It is a semi-parasitic flower which feeds off the nutrients that grass and weeds need to thrive. The ingenious work of the yellow rattle weakens vigorous grasses within a meadow, therefore allowing other wildflowers to flourish.

*Important Information* - Yellow rattle must be sown in the Autumn or Winter as it requires a prolonged period of cold weather chilling to trigger its germination.  
Store your yellow rattle seed balls in the fridge until you are ready to sow them.

Autumn sown yellow rattle will germinate from late February to early March, flowering in mid June and finishing it's life cycle around July.
Sowing in Winter will produce flowering up until September.

Yellow rattle is an annual. This means they will last one flowering year.
We recommend purchasing Yellow Rattle Eco Seed Balls each year to sow in amongst your flowering meadows. Regular use of yellow rattle will give you the best chance of success and a beautiful looking thriving meadow.
