Embankment Seed Mix

This Meadow Mix for Slopes is a selection of specific flowers suitable for ornamenting slopes and other steep terrains, which are often quite dry, unrewarding and inconvenient to maintain. Robust, undemanding and water-efficient, they grow without care, limiting maintenance operations to mowing at the end of the season, while providing shelter and food for numerous beneficial insects. The seeds are sown directly in place, in late summer or spring, in well-prepared soil. The bed that is created will bloom for several years, from spring to summer.

This selection consists of 35 species of perennial and annual plants. Annuals bloom 6 to 8 weeks after sowing, while perennial plants, which live for several years, will bloom from the second spring onwards. All these plants show rather rapid growth and some spontaneously self-sow in the garden, in ordinary and well-drained soil. The height of flowering plants varies from 40 to 80 cm (15.7 to 31.5 in).

Partial composition: Calendula officinalis, Echium plantagineum, Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, Linum grandiflora, etc.

This meadow mix combines usefulness with pleasure: flowering throughout the entire summer season while requiring very little maintenance, it restores ecological balance and brings the charm of the countryside to the garden. Occasional watering during very dry periods will suffice to obtain numerous flowers. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes near the house, along a pathway, in a slightly neglected area of the garden, on the slope bordering a sunken path, or at the back of the garden bordering the countryside.
