From my point of view, the entirety of this neck from nova-flora should be subject to more detail on its composition: 10 grams of buckwheat and 6 grams of flower mixture. It's like shampoo or liquid leached where you pay a lot for little washing product.

More information

Designed for property boundaries, roadside embankments and easily drying land, this special slope meadow mix is composed of perennial and annual flowers that are particularly resistant and frugal. Perfectly adapted to steep terrain, these wildflowers reduce the maintenance of these difficult-to-access areas to one mowing per year, and they will bloom again for several years in spring and summer. Sow the seeds in September-October or March-April, scattered like grass, in the sun and in well-prepared soil.

Description

This Meadow Mix for Slopes is a selection of specific flowers suitable for ornamenting slopes and other steep terrains, which are often quite dry, unrewarding and inconvenient to maintain. Robust, undemanding and water-efficient, they grow without care, limiting maintenance operations to mowing at the end of the season, while providing shelter and food for numerous beneficial insects. The seeds are sown directly in place, in late summer or spring, in well-prepared soil. The bed that is created will bloom for several years, from spring to summer.

This selection consists of 35 species of perennial and annual plants. Annuals bloom 6 to 8 weeks after sowing, while perennial plants, which live for several years, will bloom from the second spring onwards. All these plants show rather rapid growth and some spontaneously self-sow in the garden, in ordinary and well-drained soil. The height of flowering plants varies from 40 to 80 cm (15.7 to 31.5 in).

Partial composition: Calendula officinalis, Echium plantagineum, Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, Linum grandiflora, etc.

This meadow mix combines usefulness with pleasure: flowering throughout the entire summer season while requiring very little maintenance, it restores ecological balance and brings the charm of the countryside to the garden. Occasional watering during very dry periods will suffice to obtain numerous flowers. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes near the house, along a pathway, in a slightly neglected area of the garden, on the slope bordering a sunken path, or at the back of the garden bordering the countryside.

Planting and care

Sowing:

Sow directly in place, broadcast like grass, from September to October or from March to May, in soil that has been well-prepared with a spade, cleared of weeds, refined and raked. Sow finely on the surface of the soil and lightly rake to cover the seeds. Optionally, pass the roller to ensure good adhesion of the seeds to the ground. Germination normally takes 14 to 30 days. Regularly water with a fine rain to keep the soil slightly moist until germination.

Cultivation:

When the young plants appear, water well and eliminate weeds. Water regularly. Once well established, plants generally rely on rainwater. Only water during very hot and dry periods in summer. At the end of flowering in autumn, the slope can be mowed to 10 or 20 cm (3.9 or 7.9 in) above the ground.
