Description

This wonderful and colourful wildflower blend is made up of over 35 plant species, guaranteeing a staggering variety of flowers and colours. It also means it is very adaptable to multiple types of ground, as well as any space - from planters and pots to whole fields of buzzing bees.

For a community, as well as for gardens at home, this flowery wildflower meadow mix is the perfect way to promote and safeguard biodiversity.

This blend was developed in collaboration with the entomologist Jerome Yvernault and expert beekeepers, creating the perfect bee-attracting flower mix.

Composed of 16 annual plants (such as Common Cornflower, Beebush and Dahlia) and 18 perennial plants (such as Lavender, Nepeta Walker's Low, Evening Primrose and Meadow Sage).

This mix is specifically designed for import into WA.

Follow the advice given on our How To Sow page to get the best results - a glorious flowering show from early Summer to Autumn.

For areas with full sun and good soil, 2 grams per square meter, or 3 grams for a denser flowering, is ideal. For areas larger than 500 square meters, aim for between 2-4 grams per square meter, but do not exceed the recommended amount.

Keep in mind, more seeds do not equal more flowers; instead, they will compete with each other, resulting in lesser species growth.
