Additional Information:
Neutral and lower ph (alkaline) soil types can produce some of the best wildflower meadows. This is usually due to the below average mineral and nutrient content of limestone and chalk based soils preventing the companion grass from ever becoming dominant. The wildflowers in this mixture are highly suited to free draining and warmer ground. Most of these species flower early in the year through to late summer before the onset of cooler, late autumn weather. Most wildflower meadow species take 6 - 12 months to fully establish before flowering so we have included some native annuals for an improved display of first year colour.
