Red Clover / Seamair dhearg
Red Clover is a fast growing perennial of the legume family and has excellent qualities which have made it invaluable to sustainable farming systems.

Perennial. 2-4 years. Frost hardy and drought resistant.

White Clover /  Seamair bhán
White Clover is an excellent plant as an alternative to, or companion for, grass in lawn areas. Being a legume, it will fix nitrogen from the atmoshphere to povide fertility for itself and any neighbouring grass and so remove the need for artificial fertiliser. Clover is drought resistant and so stays green in dry spells and its creeping growth habit once established is good at out competing weeds.
Long lasting perennial.

The common, or field, poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is the classic red poppy with large bright red flowers. In the right setting they are easy to grow and self seeding, these flowers can thrive for many years. Great for attracting polinators as they provide lots of pollen. Conventional untreated seed.
