Additional Information:
All plants require water from soil. Dry soils can be a problem to most fauna as at times there may simply not be enough moisture present to sustain healthy plant growth, particularly during the summer months. The wildflowers in this mixture are known to inhabit these soil types and are very suited to drier or free draining ground. Desiccation of these native plants may still take place on occasion, but they are all well adapted to producing new growth once suitable levels of moisture become available once again. Most wildflower and grass species take 6 - 12 months to establish before flowering so we have included some native cornfield annuals within the mixture for a little first year colour..
