A Natural and Colorful Garden All Summer Long
Wildflower mix 'OSC Mix' , offered by the OSC seed company.
This unique mix brings together varieties of wildflowers carefully selected to offer a vibrant and long-lasting bloom. Composed of annuals, perennials and biennials, it guarantees a garden in bloom from early summer until the first frosts. The perennials (P) will re-bloom each year from the second season, while the annuals (A) will reseed themselves naturally. Suitable for low-maintenance gardens, this mix attracts pollinators and promotes biodiversity.

Sow directly into the ground from early May to mid-June or in the fall (mid-September to late October) for natural seed stratification. Early spring sowing (late March/early April) is also effective. Prepare the soil by removing weeds, loosen it to a depth of 2.5 cm and sow the seeds on the surface. Mixing the fine seeds with dry sand helps spread them better. Water as needed during the first growing season.
