Meadow Over-Seeding Just Wild Flowers
Ref: mixwfos
This wild flower only seed mixture can be sown successfully into open swards that are free of aggressive grasses and perennial weeds. Cut or graze hard, harrow or rake to create at least fifty percent bare soil before broadcasting and rolling the seed in. This mixture should be sown in the autumn when grass swards are more open and less aggressive. Please note that this mixture attracts VAT which will be added on at checkout. Due to a shortage of wildflowers we are currently unable to offer this mixture. It will be back and available next year.
