    What are you trying to achieve Edd? Wildflower meadow? The grass looks too rank (too fertile) but you might have more success raising small plants and planting individually. Glyphosate off a square of turf before planting into it and use robust species - Knautia, Ox-eye Daisy, Geranium pratense, buttercups etc. Apologies if I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs.

    I have sown some  packets of  seed from cgs   I have some left of each one .probably the smallest amount would be enough for twelve plants .if anyone is interested  please pm me.

    I'm sorry I have only one pkt of each.  

    Lychnis  flos jovis  exhortes  variety

    Lychnis flos cuculi var albiflora

    Silene fimbriata

    Digitalis cilliata

    Digitalis grandiflora

    Does anyone want glaucous rose seeds?

    I'm not sure if they're viable ( maybe they need to be sown fresh - I don't know) but I'm giving it a go. Plenty  of dried hips still on the bush.

    In London. Keen but lazy.
