How to Sow and Plant

Sow in late autumn so seeds receive natural winter cold (needed for germination).

Cut grass very short (1–2 cm) before sowing.

Rake or scarify the soil surface to expose at least 50% bare soil.

Broadcast the seeds evenly over the prepared area.

How to Grow

Keep the area undisturbed after sowing so seedlings can establish among the grasses.

Allow the seeds to experience natural winter cold; germination begins in early spring.

Once seedlings appear, ensure grass competition stays low—avoid fertilizing, as rich soil favors grasses.

Maintain the area in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, low-fertility soil.

Tips

Sow in autumn for best germination — the seeds need winter cold.

Avoid rich or fertilized soil, as strong grasses will outcompete Yellow Rattle.

Cut grass very short before sowing to help seeds reach the soil surface.

Do not mow until after seed pods dry and rattle, so the plants can reseed.

PLANT TYPE

Wildflower

Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor) is a hemiparasitic wildflower used to reduce grass vigour and create niche space for other wildflowers. It is commonly sown into prepared grassy areas or meadows in late autumn; seeds require a period of cold to break dormancy and produce spring seedlings. Ideal for low-fertility turf and meadow restoration projects; valued by ecologists and gardeners for encouraging biodiversity.
