Shades and Lights Wild Flower Mix

This Mix of Wild Flowers Shadows & Lights gathers seeds of 23 species of wild plants, designed to establish themselves permanently and adorn shaded areas large enough such as forest edges, large hedges, parks or large countryside spaces. Indeed, it includes vigorous plants like Malva sylvestris or Hesperis matronalis which can spread widely. Some annual species like Consolida regalis and Dracocephalum moldavica bring the first flowers, followed by Linum perenne and Prunella vulgaris. To be sown directly in place, in September-October or between February and May, in ordinary, well-worked soil.

This mix includes, among others, Agrimonia eupatoria, Aquilegia vulgaris, bellflowers, Carex remota, Euphorbia cyparissias, Fragaria vesca, Lychnis flos-cuculis, Stellaria holostea. It blooms from the first summer if sown in spring and from spring onwards in subsequent years. The plants are 40 cm (16in) to 1m (3ft) tall. They show rapid growth and easily naturalize through spontaneous sowing in the garden, in ordinary and well-draining soil.

The Mix of Wild Flowers Shadows & Lights is a mix specially composed of perennial plants and a few annuals to vegetate large rural or somewhat wild spaces, considering the presence of vigorous species, in semi-shaded or clear shade areas. It is not intended for small garden scale. It allows for sustainable vegetation of spaces that are little maintained or visited, and whose situation is rather shaded (do not sow in dense shade).
