Plant Overview

This native perennial wildflower ranked first place among the "non-weed" perennials examined in a recent British study for meadow flora nectar productivity, making it invaluable for our native pollinators.

The Rough Hawkbit plant is a short, grassland perennial with a very hairy stem that swells slightly at the top. The flowers bloom from late May to October and are a rich golden yellow with the outer florets often reddish or orange. The bracts behind the flower appear very shaggy.

Grow in a wildflower meadow or wildlife area or in a bed or border.

Height and Spread: 30cm x 45cm.

Common names: Rough Hawkbit; Bristly Hawkbit.

All our plants are supplied in 9cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant.
The majority of our plants are grown outdoors. This means that they follow their natural growth patterns and are ready to plant at any time of the year. If you order the plants in winter, they are likely to be dormant and died back to ground level, ready to shoot again in spring - just like the herbaceous perennials in your own garden. Very occasionally, in winter, we may indicate on the packing slip that a plant needs to be hardened off before planting out. This will be because it has just come out of a polytunnel. If you have any questions about our plants or growing methods, please feel free to drop us an email.
We grow most of what we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
A very occasional email newsletter giving updates on the nursery, interesting plant information and special offers.
