Sow Wildflower Seed for Sandy Soil for any real chance of successful establishment on acidic soils as only the most suitable species must be sown. Unlike other soil types where species may survive outside of their normal habitat, sandy soils are often acidic and therefore far less forgiving. This is by no means the most flamboyant wildflower mixture but it will display reasonable colour and persist for many years.

Add this UK native seeds mixture (We recommend 5 to 20% total) to any quantity of Basic or Diverse Meadow Seeds

Over seeding into existing grassland or meadows can be successful providing the sward is sparce, slow growing or non competitive. Any aggresive or fast growing grass species will simply smother new seedlings before they have a chance to become established, particularly in the spring when grassland and meadows are heading (flowering and producing seeds).

Most native Wildflower Seed for Sandy Soil species take 6-12 months to fully establish before flowering so we have included native cornfield annuals for a little first year colour. Never apply fertiliser to your wildflower meadow.
