Considerations when constructing our Wildflower Seed for Dry Soil mixture. 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 plant growth particularly during the summer months. The wild flower species in this mixture are known to inhabit these soil types and are very suited to drier or free draining ground. Desiccation of these 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 wild flower seedlings take 6-12 months to establish before flowering so we have included native cornfield annuals for a good display of first year colour.

Never apply fertiliser or weed control to a wildflower area sown with Wildflower Seed for Dry Soil
