Additional Information:
This mixture suits open space
or the semi shade within a sparsely populated woodland. Tree management may be
required as the area matures to prevent the leaf canopy closing over the
established glade. Whilst these wildflowers are shade tolerant they do benefit
greatly from opening up the area and will flourish with less competition for
sunlight. Clear and control nettles, brambles, ground ivy, broadleaf and
grass weeds before
sowing this mixture. Top in late October and remove all autumn leaf litter during
dry winter weather.
