The Clay Soils 100% Wildflower Mix is a specialist seed mix formulated to thrive in heavy clay soils. Designed for gardens, meadows, parks, and roadside verges, this mix creates a vibrant, biodiversity-rich habitat that attracts pollinators, insects, and wildlife.
Containing hardy, colourful wildflowers suited to clay soils, this mix produces a striking floral display and sustainable meadow environment. Sowing is simple when seeds are mixed with sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust and broadcast onto a well-prepared, weed-free seedbed. Ideal for biodiversity projects and naturalised green spaces that require long-lasting beauty and ecological benefits.
