Description
The tall-flowering wildflower mixture is ideally suited to large gardens, country houses or expansive grounds where it provides striking natural beauty. It is also suitable for sowing behind shorter meadows or for covering waste ground.
The included wildflower species are blended in a way that they can compete with grasses when left uncut. The diverse flora will attract all kinds of beneficial insects as well as providing important wildlife habitat.
Not for small gardens (or the faint hearted), it is however very low maintenance as these things go. Just one cut a year in spring is recommended.
