The Sandy Soil 100% Wildflower Mix is specially formulated for sandy, well-drained soils, making it perfect for dunes, dry meadows, parks, and gardens. This mix contains hardy, drought-tolerant wildflowers that thrive in challenging sandy conditions, providing a vibrant, biodiverse habitat that attracts pollinators, insects, and wildlife.
Ideal for naturalised meadows, urban green spaces, roadside verges, and community projects, this mix ensures long-lasting colour and ecological benefits. Sowing is most successful when seeds are mixed with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust and broadcast onto a prepared, weed-free seedbed.
