Wildflowers could be adding a splash of colour to gardens as well as grass verges in Sandwell next summer.
In the spring, Sandwell Council planted wildflowers on grass verges and roundabouts – reducing the need for mowing and creating a haven for bees and butterflies.
Photographs of the flowers received more than 1,500 likes on the council's Facebook page and were seen by close to 100,000 people.
Sandwell Council’s cabinet member for highways Councillor David Hosell said: “We’ve had so many compliments and enquiries from residents who wanted to buy the seeds that we’re working with our supplier to see if we can sell the seeds for people to plant in their own gardens next spring.”
