The Wet and Moist Soil 100% Wildflower Mix is expertly formulated for areas with high moisture or waterlogged soils. Featuring water-edge and moisture-loving plants, this mix creates vibrant, biodiverse habitats that attract pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
Perfect for wet meadows, pondsides, riversides, parks, and naturalised green spaces, this mix ensures long-lasting colour and ecological benefits in challenging wet soil conditions. Sowing is most effective when seeds are combined with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust and broadcast onto a prepared, weed-free seedbed.
