MM02 is a top selling long flowering perennial seed mixture. Colourful and great for nature.
Ideal for Gardens or fields of soil with a high silt or clay content that is often ‘sticky’, more so when derived from subsoil.
Clay Soil Wildflower Mix is medium to tall, suited to any heavy moisture retentive soil. It will perform even if the clay dries out. Can also be sown where the top soil is shallow over heavy subsoil. This mixture is ideal in new gardens with compacted clay after construction works. Great for nutrient improved acidic to neutral gley, clays and daub basic soils.
Irish gardeners are sowing MM02 on top of their Bio-filters for not only does it look good, it grows where few other plants can.
Suitability: Suitable for ‘Summer dry’ to ‘all year moist’ and even ‘short-term flooded’ conditions. Ideal for heavy soils that stick to your shoes when wet.;
Growth Height: Varies: If cut, 30cm to 50cm, one cut: 100cm, if spring cut, as in uncut over winter, 200cm.
Wintergreen: Moderate, some greenery persists through winter, with each successive winter it looks more like grass.

First Year: Annuals will bloom profusely if sown before June. Cut once in late August – September after flowering.
Second Year: Short lived perennials and biennials will add color. ‘Year 2’ cuts can be made in July, August, or September based on flowering and weed presence and how short you wish to keep the meadow. If low fertility, only one cut in second year is needed.
Third Year Colour: In the early years MM02 starts off white with some yellow, pale pinks and mauve flowers. High summer sees the first Cream, Pinks and Purple, that will dominate. Acidic soils will tend to have more yellow.
Third Year Onward: Perennials establish and bloom. Annual and most biennials will have died out.
For short meadow cut to >10cm after each flush of flowers finishes, 3 times in summer.
General Advice: Clay soil is nearly always more fertile than not, always remove cuttings to reduce soil fertility, which benefits wildflower growth over aggressive weeds and grasses.
Creeping buttercup must be removed in the early years, it’s toxic to plants on poorly aerated soils.
