Unwins Seeds scoops GIMA Award for wildflowers mix

 

Nature’s Haven Easy Wildflowers Shady Mix from Unwins Seeds was crowned the winner of the Plants, Seeds & Blubs category at this year’s GIMA Awards.

 

The judges commented that the Unwins Wildflowers Shady Mix was “an easy way to sow seeds and a good specific mix for shady spots”. The Unwins Gardener’s Seed Box was also a finalist in the same category.

 

The mix combines flower seeds as well as seed sowing granules handpicked to be perfect for shady areas. The seeds include native British Isles wildflowers for a nectar rich and colourful wildflower garden. Consumers simply scatter the seeds and watch and wait as a they grow into a beautiful display that supports nature, from bees to butterflies, and even a variety of insects.

 

Creating a colourful display in a shady area can be tricky for even the most experienced gardener, so the Unwins Nature's Haven Shady Wildflowers mix is proud of its specially created mix that grows into a stunning sight that everyone can enjoy, no matter how shady their outdoor space is.

 

 

This year, Unwins celebrated its 120th anniversary, and remains at the forefront of sweet pea innovation after William Unwin sold his first sweet pea seed ‘Gladys Unwin’ in 1903. The GIMA award accolade cements Unwins as a world-class seed innovator that aims to bring colour and biodiversity to gardens across the UK and Ireland.
