Description

A natural rural wildflower meadow designed primarily to enhance biodiversity by introducing wild flowers and in particular wild arable plant species. This mixture provides a highly varied flowering display from April to June in the years following sowing, even if initial establishment may appear slow. The presence of robust perennial plants within the mixture ensures a long-lasting wild flower vegetation. To guarantee its natural persistence, the mixture should be mown and mulched in September during the first year, and in July in subsequent years.

Plant height: 30–70 cm

Flowering: from spring onwards

Composed of 9 annual and 28 perennial species.
