MM03 Loam soil wild-flora is a versatile seed mixture for any light soil.
Well suited to any type of free draining soil, (silt, brown earth or loam soil). This mixture will also grow on well drained but moisture retentive soils provided the soil always dries out fast in summer.
This wildflower seed mixture will take 3 full years to grow into a colourful meadow, by which time it will be great for biodiversity, especially Butterflies. The initial year annuals will bring a shock of colour then go on to develop into an easy to maintain meadow, provided that is, that you maintain it.
MM03 has a late summer dominance of blue, lilac and pink flowers intermingled yellow and orange flowers, all set off with white Ox eye Daisies and Wild Carrot.
