Wildflower Mix

A glorious mix of wildflowers. There are 40-odd varieties in this packet that are predominantly spring and summer flowering annuals. You are best to re-sow or over-sow with fresh seeds each year. Guaranteed to bring colour and interest wherever spread. Coverage is based on 1/2 gram per square meter. Height of the flowers vary between 60cm-90cm. It is advisable to prepare the ground (till or soften the soil) and water regularly to begin with. There is a false belief that you can just throw wildflower seeds on hard ground and they will grow! Preparing the ground so that the seed can settle into the soil also reduces the risk of rodents and birds enjoying a free feed!
