How to Grow:
For best results, sow directly in fall between mid-October and mid-November to allow for natural seed stratification over winter. Loosen soil to a depth of 2.5 cm (1″) and remove weeds before seeding. Mix seeds with sand for better distribution and let nature incorporate them into the soil.
For spring sowing, ensure seeds make good soil contact. Water as needed in the first year. Mow to 20 cm (8″) twice in the first season to manage aggressive weeds. Full establishment may take 3–4 years.
Add a nurse crop of annual rye or oats (22–25 kg/ha) to suppress weeds and prevent erosion. These crops naturally die back over winter, leaving space for your wildflowers to thrive.
Ideal for large properties or ecological restoration projects, this mix brings sustainable, natural beauty to your landscape.
