Additional Information:
For any real chance of successful wildflower establishment on acidic soils then only the most suitable species must be sown. Unlike other soil types where species may survive outside of their normal habitat, acidic soils are far less forgiving.  This is by no means the most flamboyant wildflower mixture but it will display reasonable colour and persist for many years. Most wildflower species take 6 - 12 months to fully establish before flowering so we have included native cornfield annuals for a little first year colour.
