This grew easily on clay soil with plenty grit/subsoil and sand. It looks just like the picture though less dense. We sewed the seeds in Autumn, enjoying growth then and in the following Spring. Different flowers keep popping up throughout the summer. Lovely.

- Can I sow these seeds into a lawn,or do I need to remove the grass in the area I want the wild flowers?

Hello, These need to be sown in a cleared area, so are unlikely to germinate if sprinkled on a lawn.

- What is the best time to sow these seeds for flowering in 2016? Thanks

Hello, It is a little late for autumn sowing now, so your best option would be to sow the seed in spring, and as this collection contains a mixture of annuals and perennials, you should get some flowers next year.

- Hi, will these seeds flower over autumn and winter if sown late September?

Hello there No, this wild flower seed mix needs a sunny site. We do have a 'Wildflowers for a shady meadow' plug plant collection.I have attached the link below. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/wildflowers-for-a-shady-meadow/classid.2000004161/ Hope this helps.
- Once panted will the wildflower meadow come back year after year or are the seeds just annuals? Many thanks

Hello, As a general rule, many of the native wildflowers are annual plants, however if the conditions are right, they self-seed so new plants will come back year after year.
