Description
This Long-Flowering Meadow Flower Mix brings together field flowers with annual blooms that span four months, from early June to late September. In just a few months, it creates a changing tableau animated by the flight of pollinating insects, where refined colours follow one another and harmonise. Sown in spring in well-prepared soil, the 'Long-Flowering' Mix forms a delightful and low-maintenance bed that will delight the gardener while preserving biodiversity.
This selection consists of 23 species of summer-flowering annual flowers. From the beginning of June, the show begins with purple and black centaureas, followed by shades of pink, white, and mauve from salvias and viscarias, with cosmos closing the season. All these flowers are very robust and they naturalise themselves more or less through spontaneous sowing in ordinary soil. The plants vary in height from 30 to 80 cm (11.8 to 31.5 in).
Partial composition: Salvia horminum, Cosmos bipinnatus, Centaurea cyanus, Viscaria oculata.
This meadow flower mix is very trendy. It is very easy to grow, flowering throughout the whole season while requiring very little maintenance. Ideal for adding a touch of poetry to a slightly wild and sunny area, whether in a bed or a meadow, this Long-Flowering Mix is sown in spring, in well-prepared soil. The flowers it contains are often nectar-rich, providing a significant food source for pollinating insects. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes along a path, in a slightly neglected area of the garden, on a slope bordering a sunken path, or at the back of the garden bordering the countryside.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Sow directly in place, from March to early June, once the soil has warmed up, in a well-dug and worked soil that has been cleared of weeds and raked. Sow finely on the surface of the soil and then lightly rake to cover the seeds. Alternatively, sow at a depth of 1.5 mm (0.1 in) in furrows spaced 30 cm (11.8 in) apart. Germination normally takes 14 to 21 days.
Cultivation:
When the young plants appear, water well and remove weeds. Then water once or twice a week for 6 weeks, keeping the soil slightly moist. In autumn, at the end of flowering and after collecting seeds, they can be sown in place after cleaning the area. Water well to make the seeds adhere to the soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
