Annual Mixes
Sow Pictorial Meadows Annual seed mixes in the spring – March, April, May - and they will produce superb colour displays within 8 weeks or so of sowing. Unlike other annual meadow mixtures, Pictorial Meadow mixtures are formulated so that as one species in the mix starts to die back it is replaced by another to give continuous displays from midsummer through to late autumn.
The suggested sowing rate is 2 - 3g per square metre.
Note - all customers orders are mixed-to-order and lead-time to shipping is currently up to two weeks,
