Base of Wall Seed Mix

This Base of Wall Meadow Flower Mix brings together 16 species of perennial or annual plants to sow at the foot of walls to limit the appearance of "weeds". Very resistant, and well adapted to dry and poor soils, they form a massif that remains attractive for several years. The seeds are preferably sown in late summer in the sun, in well-levelled and prepared soil. The low massif thus created will flower throughout the summer season and some plants will self-seed from year to year.

All the plants in this mix show rather rapid growth and establish themselves very easily in well-drained, and even poor and fairly dry soil. Their flowering is generally staggered from April to September once all the species are established. The height of the plants does not exceed 50 cm (19.7 in).

Partial composition: hare's tail grass (Lagurus ovatus), California poppy (Eschscholtzia), violet (Viola), yarrow (Achillea millefolium).

This meadow flower mix is very trendy, and it combines usefulness with pleasure: flowering throughout the summer season, it restores ecological balance, promotes biodiversity, competes with weeds and requires very little maintenance. Watering if the weather is very dry and cutting to 10 cm (3.9 in) in autumn will be more than enough. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes under trees and shrubs, along paths, near the vegetable garden, or on the embankment bordering a sunken path, near your fruit trees, or at the back of the garden bordering the countryside.
