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 wildflower
species take 6 - 12 months to establish before flowering so we have included 5%
native cornfield annuals for a little first year colour amongst the initial
grass.
