The Clear Market Leader: Established 1987, We farm grow wild sourced native flora. In 1990 we established the National Irish Wildflower Seed Collection, By 2022, 30,000+ Irish customers. 

Eight Employees, 10 Farmers

Our very low input system produces from 3 to 5 tons of production from about 500 acres.

Handing On Our Heritage. Since 1990, we supplied over 4000 H.a of Native wild flora to our wonderful customers. That's 60 tons of wildflower seed, about 75 Billion large seeds and 180 trillion small seeds.

How Bold are WE ? We are even teaching our competitors to grow wildflowers so that the industry can grow quicker, that seed prices fall and we will then be able to grow the rarer species and save them too. 

BEWARE: Claims of supply of 'local Irish provenance' from UK firms are disputed by the entire Irish seed industry. Ecological seeds legally, physically and economically cannot and do not collect seed in every Irish county. 

We on the other hand are training a Leader funded pilot study to create local gene-banks of Irish species throughout the 26 counties.

Please read 4 ESSENTIAL PAGES

Native Irish provenance flowers can survive your local climatic 

conditions and protect local wildlife.

Unlike non-native plants. when you buy native sourced Irish species 

they flower at the same time as the wildlife that visits the plants,

Imported wildflowers can bring plant disease and pests to Ireland.

Your purchases also supports jobs in Ireland. 
Our products are price competitive with EU. and UK  imports.

Our products cannot be compared to USA imported flora 

as they are totally different, if a mix contain larkspur, calendula, 

blue lupine, Californian poppy or many others such as flax, 

its not a native mix, even if it says wildflower, 

they are cultivated forms of wildflowers and not natives.

BEWARE OF BREXIT IMPOSTER POSERS IMPORTING!!! 

Even an Irish phone and address does not mean the firm or the WILDFLOWER SEED OR PLANT stock is Irish. 

It MUST SAY: Provenance: Native Irish, Sourced in Ireland and Tested by DAFM.
NOR SHOULD IT BE A CERTIFIED AGRI-FORBE as many are cheap CULTIVATED VARIETIES OF IMPORTED WILDFLOWER 'types and varieties'' called Forbes and are EU Certified for FOR FARM USE ONLY. Many Irish sellers, are importing flora, that they called wild. it's not.

WHAT WE DO: 

We are mainly a mail order business serving the trade and public with Seed mixtures. plants and individual species.We are passionate about wildflowers. 
No other business produces Irish provenance native flora.  We grow acres of wild sourced seed, we travel miles to find sources we can collect from.   and farm grown as crops 

Many of our species are first harvested by hand. 
Some crops we can take with combine harvesters, brush harvesters and our own bespoke methods.

Then the seed-head, chaff and  seed is gathered,  bundled, transported, to our seed house, where its checked, dried, sorted, straw is removed, chaff is removed, 

After winnowing and sieving it's then  stored, to be mixed and packed, all in Ireland, for Irish growers.

Wildflowers are older than the oldest antiques, Brighter than the newest novelty
