WF1 Flowering Meadow
This mixture is suited to areas such as road verges, inner city derelict sites and wasteland areas when a wildflower area without grasses is required. The annual species produces an initial display of colour in the first year and the perennial species persist thereafter. Because this mixture doesn’t contain any grass, establishment can be slower and bare areas of soil are left for longer while the wildflower plants establish; it is therefore crucial that the seed bed is clean of weed species otherwise they can quickly out compete the emerging wildflower plants.
