Wildflower Seed for Chalk Soil, neutral and lower ph (alkaline) sites (such as Limestone) can produce some of the best wildflower meadows. This is usually due to the below average mineral and nutrient content of limestone and chalk based soils preventing other species such as wild grasses from becoming dominant. The wildflowers in this mixture are highly suited to free draining and warmer ground.

Most of these species flower early in the year and again in late summer before the onset of cooler, late autumn weather. Most wildflower species take 6-12 months to establish before flowering so we have included native cornfield annuals for improved first year colour.

Never apply fertiliser or weed control to an area sown with Wildflower Seed for Chalk Soil.
