Wildflower Spring Meadow
Wildflower Spring Meadow
The first year, the flowering was long and significant. The following year (this year), nothing but daisies that didn't bloom for long. So I am disappointed compared to what is indicated on the packet.

Description
This Wildflower Mix brings together 11 species of perennial and annual wildflowers that are hardy and robust, with flowering periods throughout the summer or starting in spring depending on the sowing date. Within a few months, this mix creates a colourful display, buzzing with pollinating insects. Sown in early autumn or spring in well-prepared soil, this meadow requires no maintenance and delights gardeners while preserving biodiversity.
The plants in this mix thrive in ordinary garden soil. Particularly suitable for large areas, it transforms the garden for several years and significantly reduces the need for mowing. In addition to its aesthetic qualities, it provides high-quality food for pollinators. A packet of seeds can create a flower meadow of 300 to 600 square metres. The height of the plants exceeds 60cm (24in).
At the end of the flowering season, mow and remove the plants to prepare the soil for reseeding the following year.
Partial composition: Achillea, Centaurea cyanus, Papaver rhoeas, Chrysanthemum, etc.
It has become very popular to plant a flower meadow. It is easy to grow, blooms throughout the entire season, and restores ecological balance while requiring very little maintenance. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes in a neglected area of the garden, near the orchard, on a large slope, or at the back of a garden bordering the countryside.

Planting and care
Sowing: in September-October (> flowering from April to June) or from March to early June (> flowering from June to September)
Turn over the soil. Depending on the surface, you can use a rotavator or agricultural equipment. • Refine, rake, level, remove stones and weeds. • Mix the contents of the packet with an equal volume of dry sand to achieve a better distribution of the seeds. • Sow broadcast on the surface like sowing a lawn. • Roll or compact the soil to bring the seeds into contact with the soil. • Water and keep moist until germination.
Sow approximately 0.8 g per square metre.
Examples:
• 300 m2: weigh out 240 grams
• 600 m2: use the entire box
At the end of flowering, mow and remove the plants to prepare the soil. Sow again the following year.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
