Every Kind Of Soil

The original and most popular of our tall annual and perennial mixes, Every Kind Of Soil is an award-winning flower meadow, based on country-style flowers that grow well regardless of soil and climatic conditions; it is therefore highly recommended for novice gardeners, ensuring satisfaction from the first year.

A colourful collection of cottage garden favourites, chosen for their value to wildlife and combined to create drifts of meadowy blooms. Successive flowering over several months will provide a continuous food source for pollinators. Sow directly onto prepared soil. Perfect for wildlife gardens, community spaces and urban ecology.
