Additional Information:
Damp soils can be a problem to some native fauna as excessive moisture can be detrimental to healthy and sustained root growth of both wildflowers and grass. The wildflowers in this mixture are known to freely inhabit these conditions and are very suited to damp or heavier soil types. This mixture does extremely well around ponds, aside water courses or on any slow draining soils. Most perennial wildflower species take 6 - 12 months to fully establish before flowering so we have included some native cornfield annuals for a first year show of colour amongst the initial grass growth.
