Peckish, the UK’s foremost wild bird food brand, is urging the nation to transform their gardens into havens for wildlife this year by cultivating a home for wild birds with a complimentary packet of free wildflower seeds accompanying every purchase of Peckish wild bird food.
The Peckish Wild Bird Habitat Wildflower Seeds, available from Easter onwards, comprise a selection of easy-to-grow wildflowers meticulously chosen to provide essential nutrients and nesting materials for birds. These fuss-free seeds can be directly sown into gardens throughout April and May, blossoming into a spectacular wildflower spectacle from June to August, adored by nature.
Included in the trial-sized packets are beloved wildflower seeds such as sunflowers, teasels, cornflowers, corncockles, cosmos, nigellas, marigolds, and crown daisies. Each seed has been carefully selected for its contribution to nature; for instance, sunflowers attract a diverse array of wild birds with their large, nutrient-rich seeds while also brightening gardens with vibrant blooms. Teasel seeds produce delicate purple flowers in summer and are renowned for their prickly stems and irresistible seed heads, drawing finches to feast. Moreover, many of these wildflowers are cherished by beneficial pollinators like bees, butterflies, and insects, offering them an ideal habitat to thrive.
The seed packets are effortless to grow in both borders and containers, bringing a burst of colour to gardens throughout the summer season. They are ideal for revitalising neglected garden areas or even unused raised beds.

Rachael McWilliam, Head of Brand & Category for Peckish, remarked:
“Peckish is committed to looking after nature, and we want to go one step further this summer and inspire gardeners to not just feed wild birds, but to grow them a home too. We’re giving away the Peckish Wild Bird Habitat Wildflower Seeds free for customers to collect from garden centres across the UK and Ireland with each purchase of our wild bird food. We’ve handpicked the seeds in our wildflower mix to offer birds natural nutrients and nesting materials, as well as providing gardeners with a bright display of colour.
“At Peckish, supporting nature is part of our DNA, and we’re always researching new ways to make our products as environmentally friendly as possible. As part of this mission, many of our most popular collections of wild bird feed, such as Complete Seed Mix and No Grow, are now packaged in 100% recyclable paper. The paper packaging can be collected at the kerbside for recycling, so customers can feel good about feeding wild birds.”
