Luxury wild flower seeds mixture for chalk or limestone soils
My native seed mixtures are unique, so please browse through their contents by scrolling further down this page and you will see many species, such as Orchid, which are not usually available within a commercially available mix. All seed is of native British origin. You will also notice the absence of any cheap ‘filler’ species within this mix. The landscapes created will change in colour month by month and year to year (hence the variety of photos above).
Chalk and limestone soils support some distinctive and particularly beautiful wild flowers. I have created a unique mix containing 41 different native wild flower species at an exceptionally high ratio of 45% wild flowers to grasses.
Due to the rarity of some of the species in this luxury mix i can only provide up to a 666sqm pack for each customer, for larger areas i suggest you make up the rest of the seed mix using my equally special ‘Economy mix for chalk or limestone soils’, which you can view by clicking here.
Once established this mix will give you a beautiful abundance of different native wild flowers with continuous flowering right through the spring, summer and well into the autumn.
