Description
The perfect mixture for creating wildflower habitats on calcareous soils, providing subtle floral interest from April - September. Calcareous soils are free draining and prone to drought conditions, so for this reason avoid sowing in dry weather. Lime rich soils support a relatively slow growing vegetation making WFG5 easy to maintain once established. A great habitat for invertebrates which in turn provide food for birds and mammals. If possible when cutting in late summer an area of up to one third should be left uncut until the following Spring for overwintering invertebrates. This area should be alternated each year.
An 80:20 mix of grasses & native wildflowers including Greater Knapweed, Betony and Kidney Vetch.
