Yellow Rattle – Rhinanthus
£0.99 – £12.69
An essential pre-cursor to the establishment of any wild flower meadow.   The plant is hemi-parasitic gaining its nutrients from its own roots, but notably from adjacent grasses and thus weakening them, increasing biodiversity by restricting grass growth and thereby allowing other species to thrive. The plant reaches 25-50 cm tall, with opposite, simple leaves, with serrated margins and attractive yellow flowers. The varieties name comes from the seed pods which rattle when ripe.
