These are a range of annual seed mixes using wild flowers from around the world. They are often referred to as THROW & GROW mixes. They offer a long season with a wide and dramatic range of exotic colours. They should be sown in the spring from March through to May.
They are quick to grow and can provide a long colourful flowering season over the summer. This long flowering season is very beneficial to all natural pollinators such as bees.
Sow at 3 grams to the square metre. They flower throughout the summer. Species such as Cosmos, California Poppy and the French Marigold. These mixes will generally just last one season.
