I saw some Great Burnet growing wild in a nearby field last summer, which spurred me on to buy some plants. Today have planted out some plug plants (bought from the Trust for Conservation Volunteers, who have just closed their online shop) into pots. These will be planted into the meadow and surrounds in a few weeks time. I will be spraying small areas with Roundup to give somewhere for them to grow - but as it is windy and there are showers coming through will have to wait for a dry and still day to do the spraying. Plantings have been:
To go in the boggy areas of long grass at the bottom of the meadow.
Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) -
To go in the wood:
Wild Primrose (Primula vulgaris)
Wood Avens (Geum urban)
To go in the field:
Wild Carrot (Daucus carota)
Common Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)
Great Burnet (Sanguisorba officials)
Meadow Clary (Salvia pratensis)
Meadow Clary (Salvia pratensis)
To go on the edges of a stony area:
Red Valerian (Centrranthus ruber)
