Meadow Slope Mix

This Meadow Slope mix is a beautiful assortment of flowers particularly suited for ornamenting slopes and other steep terrain which is often quite dry, ungrateful, and difficult to maintain. Sturdy and undemanding, requiring little water, they grow without the need for care, limiting maintenance to a late-season mowing, while adding colour to these unattractive areas, and providing shelter and food for many beneficial insects. Seeds will be sown directly in place, in late summer or spring, in well-prepared soil. This flowering scape will bloom for several years, from spring to summer.

This selection consists of 39 species of perennial and annual plants. Annuals bloom 6 to 8 weeks after sowing, while perennial plants, which live for several years, will bloom as early as the second spring. All these plants show rather rapid growth and some self-seed spontaneously in the garden, in ordinary and well-drained soil. One seed box allows for covering up to 100 square metres. The height of flowering plants varies between 40 and 80 cm (16 and 32in).

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

Wildflower meadows combine usefulness with pleasure: blooming throughout the season while requiring very little maintenance, they restore ecological balance and bring the charm of the countryside to the garden. Occasional watering during very dry periods will be enough to obtain many flowers. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixtures in a slightly neglected area, on a large slope, or in the back of a garden bordering the countryside.
