This is our wild flower meadow mix which is best
suited to sandy soils.
It is a mixture of 80% grass and 20% wildflowers .
There are 15 different wild flowers in the mixture
which will cope with lighter, thinner sandy soils.
The application rate is 4 grams per square metre or
yard.
The Poppies and Ox-eye daisy may dominate in the
first 2 years, then the other species will come to
the fore.
Having a wide range of species will extend the
season of flowering .
Once established, the aim is to have species of
different height , colour and appearance from May
through to August.
