While perennials are perhaps more practical for creating a wild meadow, an annual makes for an equally dazzling display for less care.
Our Dual Purpose mix combines the best of both worlds: having a larger quantity of annuals which will bloom beautifully in the first year for an extra splash of life while the perennial plants develop. Not only eye candy, but a treat for bees and butterflies, too, as many of our selected flowers are recommended by the RHS as ‘Perfect for Pollinators’.
This mix contains 27 different flower species.
Sowing Rate: 3 grams per sq/m - 1kg covers 330sq/m
