Additional Information:
This diverse wildflower meadow mix really excels with nearly 30 carefully chosen
species of the very best native wildflowers offering a rich, sustainable habitat
and a balanced display of natural colour. Wildflowers are the very life blood of
the countryside with many of our most endangered butterflies and insects relying
on this type of habitat as a natural food source for survival. Not only do colourful
wildflowers play a vital role within our countries delicate ecosystem, the natural
attraction to native and migrating butterflies can be very rewarding and also very
pleasing to the eye. For the best results, broadcast these seeds on to a fine and
clean seedbed. Broadleaf and grass weeds should be controlled with a herbicide before sowing takes place
and soil fertility should be reasonably low. Most wildflower species take 6 - 12
months to fully establish before flowering so we have included some native annual
wildflowers for a little first year colour.
