Wild Yellow Rattle Seeds

Yellow rattle eats grass roots and helps maintain wild areas and borders from invading grasses. Yellow Rattle, also known as Hay Rattle, is a native wildflower with pretty yellow flowers that ripen in late summer into dry pods that rattle (hence their name) – traditionally indicating it was time to cut the hay.

Yellow rattle attracts bees to its flowers and is a food source to a couple of rare moths, but the primary reason for growing it is its parasitic nature.

Yellow Rattle does a great job of weakening and reducing grass competition in wildflower gardens and meadows. Grass is the enemy of wildflowers, often outcompeting them, weakening flowering and killing them off over time. A healthy population of yellow rattle, evens up the odds because it attaches to the roots of grasses, drawing nutrition from the grass, weakening its growth.

The best time to sow Yellow Rattle seed is between September and February as it benefits from being exposed to winter cold which assists germination.

Helpful – Caring – Responsible

When Sean McMenemy started Noah’s Ark Wildlife Gardens as a landscaping business back in 1991, little did he know what a huge impact he was to make on the bird feeding and garden wildlife industries over the following decades.

Over 30-years later he still brings the same passion for garden wildlife to work every day, so it’s no wonder we’re so highly respected. Our expertise lies in providing carefully selected natural food and products that offer significant benefits to wildlife – with the type of customer service only true enthusiasm for our subject can bring.

Meeting a demand for natural, nutritious wildlife food

In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.

The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 parcels per day across the United Kingdom.

Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words

No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.
