The Woodland and Shaded Area 100% Wildflower Mix is specially formulated for areas with partial shade and shelter. Perfect for gardens, woodlands, and under-tree planting, this mix combines hardy, shade-tolerant wildflowers to create biodiverse, visually striking habitats that attract pollinators, insects, and wildlife.
Ideal for woodland edges, shaded meadows, parks, and urban green spaces, this mix ensures sustainable growth and long-lasting colour even in lower light conditions. Sowing is most successful when seeds are mixed with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust and broadcast onto a prepared, weed-free seedbed.
