Yellow Rattle Seed

Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor) is a key annual wildflower for creating and maintaining vibrant wildflower meadows. With its cheerful, bell-shaped yellow blooms, it adds visual charm — but its real value lies beneath the surface.

As a semi-parasitic meadow plant, Yellow Rattle naturally weakens vigorous grasses by drawing nutrients from their roots. This reduces grass dominance and opens up space for a richer diversity of native wildflowers and pollinator-friendly plants to thrive. Essential for meadow restoration and biodiversity, Yellow Rattle is often called the “meadow maker.”
