Description
A colourful, easy to grow wildflower mix that creates a 'cottage garden' effect.
With a mixture of medium height and tall wildflowers, this mixture works really well planted against a wall, creating a vibrant herbaceous border. You can also create an 'island' of wildflowers in your garden.
Aside from adding colour and character to your garden or outdoor space, the Cottage Garden wildflower mix will attract butterflies and other pollinators in abundance.
