Tree Base Seed Mix

This Tree Base Meadow Flower Mix combines 28 species of perennial or annual plants to sow at the base of trees to limit the appearance of weeds, but also the damage to the base of tree trunks that can be caused by mowing. Very resistant, the plants form a ground cover that flowers for several months and regenerates at the end of summer. The seeds are sown in spring or late summer, in the sun or in partial shade, in freshly cleared soil that has been worked and loosened. The ground cover that is created establishes itself for several years and some plants will self-sow wherever they please.

All the plants in this mixture are robust and hardy. They show rather rapid growth and establish themselves very easily in ordinary soil. The annuals flower 6 to 8 weeks after sowing, while the perennials will produce flowers from the following spring. The flowering period generally extends from April to September once all the species are established. One box of seeds can cover approximately 30 square metres (323 square feet). The height of the plants does not exceed 40 cm (15.7 in).

Partial composition: Chrysanthemum paludossum, Brachycome, Lobularia maritima, Silene compacta.

This meadow flower mix is very trendy and combines usefulness with pleasure: flowering throughout the summer season, it restores ecological balance, promotes biodiversity, and requires very little maintenance. Watering if the weather is very dry and cutting to 10 cm (3.9 in) in autumn will be more than enough. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes under trees and shrubs, along paths, near the vegetable garden, or on the embankment bordering a sunken path, near your fruit trees, or at the back of the garden on the border with the countryside.
