Bird Seed Mix

This Meadow Flower Mix for Birds combines 18 species of annual plants whose seeds are sought after by birds. It provides a source of food early in the season and during winter. The seeds of flax are very early and appreciated. Then comes the season of sorghum, millet and other sunflowers to feed tits, warblers, dunnocks, finches and goldfinches. The seeds are sown in the spring by scattering them at random in the sun and in freshly cleared, worked and loosened soil. The created bed will also provide colour to the garden and a refuge for biodiversity.

All the annual plants that make up this mix flower 6 to 8 weeks after sowing. They are not demanding and can tolerate a wide range of soils as long as it is not too clayey, too acidic or too arid. Their flowering extends from June to September, and their seeds are available from September to January. The average height of the plants is about 80 cm (31.5 in). Some of them, whose seeds have escaped the appetite of birds, will self-sow wherever they like. At the end of flowering, do not prune, and you will be able to observe our magnificent garden companions! Indeed, in autumn, the seeds become a first-choice source of food for birds.

Partial composition: Helianthus annuus, Cosmos bipinnatus, Panicum miliaceum, Sorghum nigrum, Linum

The meadow flower mix is very trendy, combining the useful with the pleasant, blooming throughout the summer season and requiring very little maintenance. Occasional watering will suffice if the weather is really dry. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes along paths, near the vegetable garden, or on the slope bordering a sunken path, near your fruit trees, or at the back of the garden bordering the countryside.
