Calcareous Soils - Wildflower Mixture
This mixture is suited to calcareous soils and all light loamy ground. It also lends itself to banks and steeper sides. Like most wildflower meadows it takes a few years to establish but will be a really good show of species.
This mixture is available as 100% wildflowers or 20% wildflowers and 80% companion grasses.
Sowing rate: 3 - 5 grams per square metre.
