Description
The Colour Impact Mix combines a mixture of 50% perennial species with 50% annual species. This mix gives colour in the first year from the annual varieties, while the perennials will flower in year 2 (and for multiple seasons to come when the area is well tended).
The resulting display of flowers will supply pollen for beneficial garden visitors such as bees, butterflies and pollinating insects - from spring through to early autumn.
The composition of 16 species will ensure adaptability to different growing conditions, as well as an ever-changing arrangement of colours as different species bloom at different times.
