The Coastal Area 100% Wildflower Mix is expertly formulated for salty, exposed, and hard coastal soils. This mix contains hardy, salt-tolerant wildflowers that thrive in challenging coastal environments, providing long-lasting colour and a biodiverse habitat.
Perfect for dunes, cliff-tops, coastal parks, and urban seaside areas, this mix attracts pollinators, insects, and wildlife while enhancing the natural beauty of coastal landscapes.
