Wild
Flower Seed Collection for
Sandy Soils This
seed mixture consists of perennial wild flower seeds that are adapted to
growing on sandy soils. Sandy soils are usually infertile,
well-drained and easy to work, but are prone to drought and so best
seeded in autumn or winter to give the plants a chance to establish
before the dry summer months. The plants tend to be deep rooting
and tolerant of drought. All of the wild
flower seeds are of British native origin. The seeds should be
sown from 1.5g per square metre depending on the density of flowering
required. The mix will consist of
seeds from the
following:
